Resenteeism
In human resources and occupational psychology, resenteeism refers to a phenomenon where employees remain in roles they find deeply dissatisfying, resulting in feelings of resentment, anger, and entrapment. This state typically occurs when individuals perceive a lack of alternative employment options or are concerned about the financial and professional risks associated with a career change. While the term is contemporary, the underlying behaviour is classified in academic literature as a form of work disengagement, which involves the cognitive, emotional, and physical distancing of oneself from a work role.
