“…Our study shares several limitations with published studies: (i) Data were collected via a single method of questionnaires (Donald et al, 2023); the self-reported nature of the participant perceptions may introduce social desirability or recall error bias (Nimmi et al, 2021); and participants only came from a single country of India (Nimmi et al, 2022).…”

<p>Drawing on a theoretical framework of Job Demands-Resources (JD-R), our study aims to consider how workplace antecedents of perceived quiet firing (also known as involuntary attrition), perceived co-worker support, and experience (tenure at an organization) may influence quiet quitting behavior. Data were collected via questionnaire responses from 209 workers in India who had graduated from university within the last 7 years. The findings show that (1) perceived quiet firing is positively associated with quiet quitting; (2) perceived co-worker support is negatively associated with quiet quitting; (3) experience moderates the positive association between perceived quiet firing and quiet quitting in such a way that the relationship is weaker as one’s tenure at an organization increases; and (4) experience does not moderate the negative association between perceived co-worker support and quiet quitting. The study’s contributions come from understanding how the interplay of demands (i.e., perceived quiet firing) and resources (i.e., perceived co-worker support and experience) determine quiet quitting behaviors in the workplace. Additionally, the temporal dimension of experience facilitates the acquisition of organizational-specific knowledge and resources. In contrast, perceptions of co-worker support appear specific to a given point in time. Policy implications come from providing guidance to organizations on how to reduce quiet quitting behaviors by ensuring that the resources available to employees exceed the demands placed on them.<strong></strong></p>

“…We support calls to provide all students with access to career support (including entrepreneurship paths), mental health, and well-being opportunities (Donald and Jackson, 2022;Donald et al, 2024) to help them develop their resource caravans. However, government initiatives to encourage individuals to become entrepreneurs (including influencing their perceptions of operationalising resource caravans) may need to be targeted at women.…”

PurposeDrawing on a framework of conservation of resources theory, the purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between self-perceived academic performance and individual entrepreneurial intention and consider the potential moderating role of (1) participation in serious leisure, (2) perceived stress and/or (3) gender.Design/methodology/approachA total of 405 UK-based undergraduates completed the questionnaire, with a representative gender split of 57% women and 43% men.FindingsThe positive relationship between self-perceived academic performance and individual entrepreneurial intention was moderated by serious leisure (stronger when participation in serious leisure increased) and by perceived stress (stronger when levels of perceived stress were lower). However, contrary to our expectations, gender had no statistically significant moderating role.Practical implicationsThe practical contribution comes from informing policy for universities and national governments to increase individual entrepreneurial intention in undergraduates.Originality/valueThe theoretical contribution comes from advancing conservation of resources theory, specifically the interaction of personal resources, resource caravans and resource passageways.
