Abstract

Using a phenomenologically informed qualitative design and directed qualitative content analysis, the study examined interviews with nine early-career academics aged 24 to 38 years and with 3 to 10 years of professional experience. The analytic process was predominantly deductive and was organised around six a priori, theory-informed domains derived from the study’s conceptual framework: job insecurity, emotional exhaustion, psychological contract breach, job burnout, organisational cynicism, and quiet quitting. Within these domains, participants’ accounts were examined to identify context-specific meanings, manifestations, similarities, and differences related to workplace strain and disengagement. Participants’ accounts suggest that precarious contract conditions, excessive administrative workloads, and blurred work-life boundaries were associated with emotional detachment, reduced discretionary effort, and controlled withdrawal, which they often framed as a coping response to persistent work strain. The findings further indicate that sustained psychological contract violations and organisational cynicism may contribute to more intensified forms of disengagement and psychological erosion. Rather than presenting “quiet cracking” as a fully established construct, the study treats it as an emerging and contested interpretive concept that may help explain cumulative strain among early-career academics.

Özet

Fenomenolojik olarak temellendirilmiş nitel bir desen ve yönlendirilmiş nitel içerik analizi kullanılan bu çalışmada, 24-38 yaşları arasında ve 3-10 yıllık mesleki deneyime sahip dokuz erken kariyer akademisyeniyle yapılan görüşmeler incelenmiştir. Analitik süreç ağırlıklı olarak tümdengelimsel biçimde yürütülmüş ve çalışmanın kavramsal çerçevesinden türetilen altı öncül, kuram temelli alan etrafında yapılandırılmıştır: iş güvencesizliği, duygusal tükenme, psikolojik sözleşmenin ihlali, iş tükenmişliği, örgütsel sinizm ve sessiz istifa. Bu alanlarda katılımcı anlatıları işyeri zorlanması ve işten uzaklaşmaya ilişkin bağlama özgü anlamları, görünümleri, benzerlikleri ve farklılıkları belirlemek amacıyla incelenmiştir. Katılımcı anlatıları, güvencesiz sözleşme koşullarının, aşırı idari iş yükünün ve belirsizleşen iş-yaşam sınırlarının, çoğu zaman süreğen iş zorlanmasıyla başa çıkma tepkisi olarak çerçevelenen duygusal kopuş, isteğe bağlı çabanın azalması ve kontrollü geri çekilmeyle ilişkili olduğunu düşündürmektedir. Bulgular ayrıca süreklilik gösteren psikolojik sözleşme ihlalleri ile örgütsel sinizmin daha yoğun işten uzaklaşma biçimlerine ve psikolojik yıpranmaya katkıda bulunabileceğine işaret etmektedir. Çalışma, “sessiz çatlama”yı bütünüyle yerleşik bir yapı olarak sunmak yerine, erken kariyer akademisyenleri arasındaki birikimli zorlanmayı açıklamaya yardımcı olabilecek, gelişmekte olan ve tartışmalı bir yorumlayıcı kavram olarak ele almaktadır.
