A 2026 study published in the International Journal of Business Information Systems analyzed the oil, gas, and petroleum industry to find that 'quiet firing' by employers correlates with increased 'quiet quitting' among employees. The study suggests that strong workplace relationships can weaken this negative correlation. The research was conducted in 2026 and covers a specific subset of the global workforce, with data collection likely limited to regions with significant oil and gas operations.

Key points

• A 2026 study in the International Journal of Business Information Systems found that 'quiet firing' by employers is associated with higher levels of 'quiet quitting' among employees in the oil, gas, and petroleum industry.
• Strong workplace relationships can weaken the negative correlation between employer firing practices and employee disengagement.

Context and limitations

The study covers only the oil, gas, and petroleum industry and was conducted in 2026, limiting generalizability to other sectors or time periods.
