dc.description.abstractAims This study examined the relationship between mobbing and quiet quitting attitudes among nursing and midwifery academics.Design A descriptive cross-sectional design was used, and data were collected online between June and December 2024 from 209 academics via social media platforms. Methods: The instruments included a Data Collection Form, the Quiet Quitting Attitude Scale (QQAS) and the Academicians Mobbing Scale (AMS). Statistical analyses were applied to assess group differences and relationships. Results: Academics at private universities reported higher mobbing exposure. Nurse academics had higher overall QQAS and 'Personal Thought' scores, whereas midwife academics scored higher in the 'Positive Attitude' subdimension. Doctoral students experienced more professional attacks. Mobbing exposure varied significantly by academic status and was notably linked to deteriorations in social relationships and psychological well-being. A strong positive correlation was found between mobbing and quiet quitting attitudes (t = 24.239, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Midwifery academics reported greater mobbing, while nurse academics showed stronger quiet quitting tendencies. Findings suggest that early-career academics are especially at risk. Institutions should prioritise anti-mobbing strategies and foster academic engagement to promote a healthier work environment. Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care: This study highlights that mobbing is strongly associated with quiet quitting attitudes among nursing and midwifery academics, particularly affecting early-career professionals. Implementing anti-mobbing strategies and fostering academic engagement are essential to support well-being and productivity in academic settings. Reporting Method: The study's online survey was conducted and reported following the CHERRIES guidelines to ensure transparency, completeness and quality of web-based research data. No Patient or Public Contribution: This study did not involve any direct patient or public contribution in its design, data collection or analysis.
