NCT ID NCT07311187

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is observing 382 healthcare workers at an orthopedic hospital to understand the 'quiet quitting' phenomenon—where employees do the minimum required. Researchers will use a special scale to measure detachment, lack of motivation, and lack of initiative, and also assess quality of life. The goal is to learn how common this is and what factors might predict it.
