"Our findings show that people who score higher on everyday psychopathic tendencies are somewhat more likely to engage in quiet quitting. This trait didn't mean violence or criminal behaviour; it showed up as being emotionally detached, impulsive, and less concerned about how their actions affect others. What we found is simply that those who already have a colder, more self-focused style of thinking may find quiet quitting an easier choice."
"The 'dark triad' of personality is a collection of three types of traits that are often associated with antisocial behaviour; these being psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism. Narcissism is associated with an inflated feeling of entitlement or superiority, leading to selfish or arrogant behaviour. People who score highly on tests for psychopathic traits typically have low levels of empathy for others, a tendency to prioritise their own needs, a lack of guilt, and emotional detachment."
Quiet quitting occurs when workers remain in a job but withdraw effort, doing only tasks that are strictly required. High levels of psychopathic and narcissistic traits increase the likelihood of quiet quitting. Such traits include emotional detachment, impulsivity, entitlement, low empathy, lack of guilt, and prioritising one's own needs. People with colder, self-focused thinking styles may find reducing effort a simple or acceptable response when expectations are unmet. Narcissism produces inflated entitlement or superiority that fosters selfish or arrogant behaviour. Clinical psychopathy appears at higher rates in corporate boards than in the general population.
