A multidimensional quiet quitting scale: Development and test of a measure of quiet quitting.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Growing attention has focused on employees' repeated workplace decision to engage in work-related tasks and responsibilities at a minimum level that will not lead to their dismissal. This pattern of employee work behavior, labeled "Quiet Quitting," represents a potentially problematic organizational phenomenon, particularly given increasingly complex work demands that can lower organizational performance. However, the literature lacks both a conceptually anchored definition of the Quiet Quitting construct and an associated empirically validated measure. Through four studies (sample of graduate students, Prolific sample, snowball sample from participants around the world, and a field sample of employees), we develop and validate a two-dimensional Quiet Quitting scale. This scale will facilitate measurement of the construct and development of a more nuanced understanding of its nomological network, correlates, and consequences. Implications for theory and research bearing on employee Quiet Quitting and employee work contributions are offered.
