The phenomenon of quiet quitting has emerged in recent years, particularly in the context of the pandemic. Although the concept of "quiet quitting" is a relatively recent addition to the extant literature, it is becoming increasingly prevalent among Generation Z. Further research is required in order to enhance comprehension of the notion of quiet quitting. The objective of this study is to examine the mediating role of psychological ownership in the relationship between organizational justice and quiet quitting, drawing on social exchange theory. A survey was conducted among 218 white-collar employees of a private aviation company operating in Turkey, in order to collect the necessary data. The data obtained from the study was analyzed using Amos 24.0, SPSS 27.0, and SPSS Process Macro programs. The analyses revealed a significant relationship between organizational justice and quiet quitting, and psychological ownership mediated the relationship between organizational justice and quiet quitting. The theoretical and practical contributions of the research to the existing literature are discussed, and recommendations are made for future research, managers and organizations.
