Abstract :Although the topic of silent resignation has become popular with the pandemic, it can be understood that it is a practice that goes beyond the pandemic, considering its triggers and how it reflects on organizations. Universities are crucial institutions for the development of a country. The significant steps these institutions take in the scientific realm can propel countries forward in various fields, such as technology, military, politics, and society, compared to other nations, thereby changing the fate of the nation\\\'s people. When considering the conditions within universities and the reasons for silent resignation, which are identified as its triggers in the literature, a significant relationship between the two can be discerned. This study aims to contribute to the advancement of science in the country by linking the causes of silent resignation with practices in universities and offering some policy recommendations to politicians as solutions to this issue. Within this framework, the topic of silent resignation is first addressed, its triggers are uncovered, then the problems of universities are evaluated to reveal the relationship with the triggers of silent resignation, and finally, some recommendations are made to politicians on this issue. The results of the study indicate that there is a relationship between the practices in universities and the reasons/antecedents of silent resignation, and that the practices in universities create an environment conducive to silent resignation.
