Quiet quitting is a relevant social issue, and it represents a deeper pattern of disengagement driven by perceived undervaluation, workload pressures and organisational disconnection. In healthcare, this phenomenon is particularly critical given its potential impact on workforce sustainability, job satisfaction and quality of care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To synthesise evidence on quiet quitting among hospital healthcare workers, with a specific focus on identifying and critically analysing its organisational and occupational drivers, as well as its prevalence and associated sociodemographic factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus and EBSCO (CINAHL, PsycINFO, PsycArticles, Psychology and Behavioural) was conducted for quantitative studies published in English between January 2015 and August 2025. Eligible studies assessed quiet quitting in healthcare workers using validated instruments or single\u2010item indicators. Methodological quality was assessed with the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Data were narratively synthesised. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251114378) in August 2025.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fourteen cross\u2010sectional studies including 8279 healthcare workers were included. Reported prevalence of quiet quitting ranged from 46.1% to 74.4%. Burnout, job dissatisfaction, work stress, leadership style, organisational support and work environment were consistently associated with higher levels of QQ. Conversely, engaging leadership, supportive environments and higher emotional intelligence were linked to lower quiet quitting. Evidence regarding demographic correlates was heterogeneous; some studies suggested higher prevalence among younger workers, including Generation Z. Most studies were rated as moderate to high quality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Quiet quitting is common among healthcare workers and appears to be influenced by occupational and organisational factors. Findings should be interpreted with caution due to the cross\u2010sectional designs, heterogeneous measurement approaches and limited cross\u2010cultural validation. Future longitudinal and interventional studies should examine whether and how quiet quitting affects workforce sustainability, care quality and patient outcomes across diverse healthcare settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for Nurse Leaders<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nurse leaders and managers should address quiet quitting through participatory and empowering leadership, shared governance, professional recognition, organisational support, and fair staffing and workload allocation. Creating psychologically safe and supportive work environments that foster teamwork, well\u2010being and engagement may strengthen nurses\u2019 sense of belonging, reduce disengagement and support workforce retention and sustainability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/jonm\/7319117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,23]],"date-time":"2026-07-23T06:44:46Z","timestamp":1784789086000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Quiet Quitting in the Healthcare Workforce: A Systematic Review of Organisational Drivers and Managerial Implications"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-5072-0705","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elisabetta","family":"Cesaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-0008-9961","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chiara","family":"Daicampi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1421","DOI":"10.1002\/hrm.22317","article-title":"Quiet Quitting in Times of Uncertainty: Definition andRelationship with Perceived Control","volume":"64","author":"Herv\u00e9 J.","year":"2025","journal-title":"Human Resource Management"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_2","first-page":"100","article-title":"Quiet Quitting or Slacking Off?","volume":"37","author":"Joiner S.","year":"2025","journal-title":"Journal of Business & Behavioral Sciences"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7189\/jogh.13.03014"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.29119\/1641-3466.2025.222.26"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actpsy.2025.104812"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/ijchm-11-2022-1362"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/merits3010012"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1528008x.2024.2393336"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2025.1538444"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/ijchm-08-2023-1317"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2011.652"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/inr.70046"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jnu.12528"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.14846"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12960-022-00764-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00224545.2023.2272034"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.4236\/ojn.2017.712100","article-title":"The Relationship Between Understaffing of Nurses and Patient Safety in Hospitals\u2014a Literature Review With Thematic Analysis","volume":"7","author":"Glette M.
