Abstract

Quiet quitting refers to employees' tendency to perform only the duties specified in their job descriptions while refraining from voluntary engagement in extra-role tasks. As a relatively recent construct, its multidimensional structure remains underexamined in the literature. This study adapted the Multidimensional Quiet Quitting Scale (MQQS; Patel et al., 2025) into Turkish. Following a translation–back-translation procedure supported by expert evaluations, validity and reliability analyses were conducted on data from 279 white-collar employees who worked full-time in the same organization for at least six months. Construct validity was examined via confirmatory factor analysis; convergent and discriminant validity were assessed using composite reliability (CR), average variance extracted (AVE), and the Fornell-Larcker criterion. Criterion validity was evaluated through correlation analyses relating quiet quitting dimensions to turnover intention, organizational citizenship behavior, psychological contract breach, feelings of violation, employee voice, and organizational commitment. Both dimensions demonstrated significant associations with criterion variables in the expected direction. Considered alongside internal consistency and item analysis findings, and with the study's psychometric limitations taken into account, the scale can be regarded as a suitable instrument for assessing quiet quitting among white-collar employees in Turkey.

Özet

Sessiz istifa kavramı, çalışanların görevlerini yalnızca görev tanımları çerçevesinde yerine getirmeleri ve ek görevlere gönüllü olarak katılım göstermeme eğilimlerini ifade etmektedir. Alanyazında görece yeni bir kavram olan sessiz istifanın çok boyutlu yapısı henüz yeterince incelenmemiştir. Bu çalışma, Patel vd. (2025) tarafından geliştirilen Çok Boyutlu Sessiz İstifa Ölçeğinin (ÇBSİÖ) Türkçeye uyarlanmasını amaçlamaktadır. Uzman değerlendirmelerine dayalı çeviri–geri çeviri sürecinin ardından, aynı kurumda en az altı aydır tam zamanlı çalışan 279 beyaz yakalı çalışandan elde edilen verilerle geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri yürütülmüştür. Yapı geçerliği, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile incelenmiş; benzeşme ve ayrışım geçerliği ise bileşik güvenirlik (CR), ortalama açıklanan varyans (AVE) ve Fornell-Larcker kriteri aracılığıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Ölçüt geçerliği kapsamında sessiz istifa boyutlarının işten ayrılma niyeti, örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışları, psikolojik sözleşme ihlali, ihlal hissi, çalışan sesliliği ve örgütsel bağlılık ile ilişkileri korelasyon analizleriyle sınanmıştır. Bulgular, her iki boyutun ölçüt değişkenleriyle beklenen yönde anlamlı ilişkiler sergilediğini ortaya koymuştur. İç tutarlık ve madde analizi bulguları birlikte değerlendirildiğinde, çalışmanın psikometrik sınırlılıkları gözetilmek kaydıyla ölçeğin Türkiye'deki beyaz yakalı çalışanlarda sessiz istifanın ölçümünde kullanılabilecek bir araç niteliği taşıdığı söylenebilir.
