Abstract: Purpose: Based on transformational leadership and Self-determination theory, this research sought to investigate the connections between transformational leadership, quiet quitting behavior, cyberloafing, emotional stability, and the moderating impact of work stress on the relationship of emotional stability, quiet quitting and cyber loafing in the Banking sector.
Method: The study used a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique was simple random sampling. Data of 338 bank employees were collected and analyzed using SPSS 27 and Smart PLS 4.
Findings: The study revealed that transformational leadership mitigated quiet quitting behavior and cyberloafing through emotional stability, and excessive work stress moderated the relationships between Emotional Stability, Quiet quitting, and Cyberloafing.
Originality: This study addressed a recent phenomenon, quiet quitting behavior, where the effect of transformational leadership was yet to be completely investigated. In addition, there was an absence of research directly on the connection between transformational leadership and cyberloafing. Moreover, the application of work stress as a moderator between transformational leadership and Quiet Quitting behavior and cyberloafing was novel and contributed to existing knowledge.
Practical Implications: The findings offer practical insights for organizations, highlighting the role of transformational leadership in mitigating employee disengagement (quiet quitting) and unproductive online behaviors (cyberloafing). Understanding the moderating influence of work stress provides actionable strategies for creating a resilient workplace environment.
