The Impact of Job Satisfaction on Quiet Quitting with Organizational Justice as a Mediator among Generation Z Employees

Post-COVID-19 pandemic, the phenomenon of quiet quitting has become a global spotlight, characterized by an increased prevalence of employee engagement in quiet quitting behaviors.. Quiet quitting is an intentional act by employees to only fulfill the basic duties of their job without any effort to provide performance beyond what is expected. Previous studies have found that quiet quitting is related to job satisfaction, which is a positive feeling from the evaluation of the characteristics of a particular job, as well as organizational justice, which is employees' perception of fairness in the organization. This study aims to examine the effect of job satisfaction on quiet quitting behavior among Generation Z employees, with organizational justice as a mediating variable. The research was conducted on 182 Generation Z employees who were taken based on convenience sampling. Data was collected online by distributing the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, Quiet Quitting Scale, and Organizational Justice Scale. Data was analyzed with path analysis method using JASP. The results of this study show that job satisfaction has an effect on quiet quitting with the mediation of organizational justice. Without the role of organizational justice, job satisfaction has no effect on quiet quitting. It can be concluded that organizational justice plays an important role in mediating the influence of job satisfaction on quiet quitting. The findings of this study can be implemented into educational programs about quiet quitting and organizational justice to minimize the potential for quiet quitting among Generation Z employees
