조용한 사직과 소명 상실: 조직이론과 기독교 소명 개념의 통합적 고찰 = Quiet Quitting and the Loss of Calling: An Integrative Study of Organizational Theory and the Christian Theology of Vocation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study offers a theological reinterpretation of the phenomenon of quiet quitting by examining it through the lens of the Christian concept of calling, with particular attention to Martin Luther’s doctrine of vocation. Quiet quitting—characterized by the intentional withdrawal of emotional and discretionary engagement while maintaining formal work presence—is framed not merely as a reaction to burnout or generational trends, but as a deeper expression of meaninglessness and the loss of calling. Drawing on both theological and organizational literatures, the study analyzes the structural and existential roots of this phenomenon and reconstructs Luther’s vocational theology around four interrelated dimensions: responsibility, purpose, community, and service. It further investigates how contemporary organizational theories—especially those emphasizing meaning, identity, and human dignity—converge with the theological concept of calling. The central argument is that recovering a sense of calling in the workplace is essential to addressing the root causes of quiet quitting. To this end, the paper proposes a calling-centered model of organizational design that embeds moral purpose and relational identity into the cultural and structural fabric of work. By bridging theology and organizational behavior, this study contributes a normative foundation for reimagining organizations as spaces of calling and dignity.
