Mushroom management style as a predictor of teachers' quiet quitting behavior.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe mushroom management style refers to a management approach where employees' access to information is restricted and they are not included in decision-making processes. Quiet quitting, conversely, it refers to employees only performing their mandatory duties without resigning, avoiding putting extra effort into their work. This study aims to investigate the extent to which mushroom management style predicts quiet quitting behavior among public school teachers from the perspective of Social Exchange Theory and Psychological Contract Theory.
methodsThis quantitative study is designed using a correlational survey model. The study group consists of 460 teachers selected using simple random sampling across seven geographical regions of Türkiye. Data were gathered through the "Mushroom Management Scale" and the "Teachers' Quiet Quitting Scale," and correlation and regression techniques were used in the analyses.
resultsThe results indicate that teachers' perceptions of mushroom management style were generally low, while their perceptions were moderate in terms of information sharing and communication. Quiet quitting behaviors were generally very low, but were also found to be at a low level in terms of depersonalization.
conclusionsThe findings indicated a moderate, positive, and statistically significant relationship between mushroom management style and quiet quitting behavior. In addition, mushroom management emerged as a significant predictor of quiet quitting behavior. In light of these results, several implications for practice and directions for future research are proposed.
