The concept of quiet quitting has gained attention due to its implications for employee engagement and productivity. This study examined the relationship between quiet quitting, work minimalism, employee  engagement, and organisational performance using data from 165 respondents across multiple sectors. The findings revealed limited evidence of traditional quiet quitting, with employees preferring work  minimalism by focusing on meaningful tasks while maintaining work–life balance. High levels of engagement and willingness to contribute extra effort were observed, particularly when supported by recognition, effective leadership, career growth opportunities, and work–life balance policies. The results highlight the importance of supportive management practices in enhancing motivation and organisational  performance and suggest that organisations can reduce disengagement by aligning workplace practices with employee expectations.
