Every workplace which has employees detached, losing motivation and initiative while working because of the workload, tiredness or the feeling of injustice, would most likely disturb their employee performance. This study aimed to test and analyze the effect of workload, distributive injustice and job burnout also analyzed and test the role of quiet quitting on every path of the relationship between these variables on employee performance. This Study used quantitative approach, and questionnaire was distributed via online form to 100 employees of Public Works and Highways Department of East Java Province. Hypothesis testing was carried out by using SEM-PLS algorithm through the Smart-PLS 4 Application.
