As a result of the correlation analysis between quiet quitting and job performance, a moderately significant negative relationship was found with the strength of r=-0.417 and the significance level of p<0.05. The regression analysis performed to analyze the effect of quiet quitting on job performance (β=-0.306; p<0.05) determined its negative effect. Further empirical findings obtained as a result of the difference tests (T- test, ANOVA), significant differences were determined at the p<0.05 significance level between gender, status, age, income and education regarding the quiet quitting of the participating healthcare workers. Additionally, significant differences were detected between gender, status, age, income and education regarding the job performances of the participating healthcare workers at the p<0.05 significance level.
