Are workplace gender microaggressions a quiet contributor to quiet quitting? A conceptual framework Available to Purchase

This study aims to introduce a conceptual framework that links gender microaggressive experiences at the workplace to women’s propensity to quiet quit.

Using conservation of resources theory and social exchange theory this study develops a conceptual framework to explain women employees’ quiet quitting (QQ) behaviour when they experience gender microaggressions (GM) in workplaces.

The conceptual framework provides a comprehensive understating of antecedents to QQ behaviour of women employees. Affective commitment is identified to mediate and supervisory support to moderate the relationship between QQ and GM.

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to examine the QQ process through a gendered lens.
