    124 Exit, Voice, Loyalty, Neglect: Why People Leave, Stay, or Try to Burn It All
    125 Down
    126 
    127 [evln]
    128 
    129 [169] [170] [171] [172] [173]
    130 
    131 When someone is dissatisfied with a product, group, or relationship, how do
    132 they remedy that dissatisfaction? 
    133 
    134 A German economist and political scientist, Albert Hirschman, laid out a theory
    135 of how people respond to dissatisfaction in his influential treatise [174]Exit,
    136 Voice, Loyalty: Responses to Decline in Firms, Organizations, and States. 
    137 
    138 Hirschman observed that people who find themselves in diminishing,
    139 less-than-ideal circumstances have three options: 1) leave the declining group,
    140 company, or relationship (exit), 2) express discontent to improve the situation
    141 (voice), or 3) stay in the organization and passively hope things get better
    142 (loyalty). 
    143 
    144 Since the initial publication of Exit, Voice, Loyalty in 1970, other social
    145 scientists have added a fourth option to Hirschman’s framework: neglect.
    146 
    147 Which option a person exercises will depend on many factors, and the path they
    148 choose can help reverse, stem, or exacerbate a group’s deterioration. 
    149 
    150 The exit, voice, loyalty, neglect (EVLN) framework will help you understand why
    151 people stay in or leave a relationship (including friendships), why people stay
    152 in or leave a job, why people stay in or leave a church, and many more of
    153 life’s interpersonal and institutional dynamics. 
    154 
    155 Let’s unpack it. 
    156 
    157 Exit, Voice, Loyalty, Neglect
    158 
    159 I read Hirschman’s book a few months ago and went on a deep dive into related
    160 research that’s been done since it was published. The EVLN framework has become
    161 a fundamental mental model in my brain. It’s a decidedly simple paradigm and is
    162 something people already intuitively know, but once you see it spelled out
    163 explicitly, you start to see it everywhere. 
    164 
    165 Exit
    166 
    167 The exit option is exercised when an individual is dissatisfied with something
    168 and decides to quit it altogether. 
    169 
    170 You use the exit option all the time as a consumer. If you’re dissatisfied with
    171 shaving cream brand A, you stop using it and start using shaving cream brand
    172 B. 
    173 
    174 You can also use the exit option when dissatisfied with a job, relationship, or
    175 group.
    176 
    177 Not happy with your job? You can quit it.
    178 
    179 Not happy with your relationship? You can break up.
    180 
    181 Not happy with the state of your congregation? You can stop going to that
    182 church and start going to another.
    183 
    184 What’s interesting about the exit option is that it often accelerates decline
    185 in groups. According to Hirschman, the people most sensitive to a decrease in
    186 quality are typically those with the most resources, skills, and talents that
    187 could be used to effectuate improvement. The people who are the least sensitive
    188 to quality usually have fewer resources, skills, and talents. When the people
    189 who have resources leave, it results in a “brain drain.” With fewer
    190 well-resourced members, the quality of the group further declines; it thus has
    191 even more trouble attracting new members (especially well-resourced ones); as a
    192 result, even more people leave. Things go from bad to worse, and the group or
    193 organization enters a death spiral that can be difficult or impossible to
    194 recover from.
    195 
    196 To illustrate this phenomenon, Hirschman uses the example of parents pulling
    197 their kids out of public schools and putting them into private schools.
    198 According to Hirschman, affluent parents are much more sensitive to education
    199 quality than less affluent parents. It’s not that less affluent parents don’t
    200 care about their children’s education; they just don’t have the luxury of being
    201 hyper-sensitive to deficits in quality. Because they know that private school
    202 isn’t an option for them, they don’t spend as much time wondering if the grass
    203 is greener at another school as affluent parents do. 
    204 
    205 Because school is a matter of optionality for wealthy parents, they notice
    206 perceived flaws in their children’s education more acutely. If these parents
    207 become dissatisfied with the education being offered in a public school,
    208 they’ll switch their child over to a private school. When these affluent
    209 families leave a public school, they take their resources, and their possibly
    210 greater propensity to push for improvement, with them. As a result, the
    211 struggles of the public school deepen.
    212 
    213 Voice
    214 
    215 Sometimes people find themselves in a situation where they’re dissatisfied with
    216 a group or relationship, but they don’t want to leave it. They still see good
    217 in it. It’s still working for them on some level, or they see potential for how
    218 it could work if things were done differently. They may feel they can do more
    219 good being an agent on the inside than being a critic on the outside.
    220 
    221 In these cases, people may decide to stay around and exercise the voice option
    222 — complaining, offering feedback, and agitating for change to improve things. 
    223 
    224 An unhappy employee can talk to his boss about changing the company’s culture. 
    225 
    226 An unhappy husband can tell his wife about his concerns for the relationship,
    227 or together they can talk to a therapist.
    228 
    229 An unhappy customer can contact customer support to raise concerns and seek
    230 redress. 
    231 
    232 Unhappy parents can talk to their child’s teacher about an issue with their kid
    233 or join the PTA to advocate for broader changes. 
    234 
    235 Loyalty
    236 
    237 While Hirschman clearly defined exit and voice, he was ambiguous about loyalty.
    238 It’s one of the biggest criticisms he received for his work. Many social
    239 scientists since Hirschman have described loyalty as a “passively positive”
    240 response in the face of dissatisfaction. Instead of taking action (exit or
    241 voice), the loyal customer, employee, spouse, or church member will stay aboard
    242 and not raise a stink, hoping things will get better on their own if they wait
    243 long enough.
    244 
    245 Take an employee dissatisfied with his job. Maybe he’s decided he can’t quit,
    246 and perhaps he’s also decided that voicing his concerns to his boss will only
    247 increase the animosity between them. So he chooses to stay with the company,
    248 thinking, “Well, maybe things will improve. Maybe we’ll get a new supervisor.
    249 Maybe I’ll get moved to a new division. I’ll just keep working and wait and
    250 see.” 
    251 
    252 Neglect
    253 
    254 Social scientist [175]Carly Rusbult added a fourth option to Hirschman’s exit/
    255 voice/loyalty options for dealing with dissatisfaction: neglect. 
    256 
    257 Neglect is similar to loyalty in that the dissatisfied person decides to stay
    258 on board with the declining job, relationship, or group, but instead of
    259 thinking things might improve if they’re patient, the person who adopts the
    260 neglect option has decided things won’t get better and chooses to take a
    261 “negative passive” approach to the situation by putting in less effort or not
    262 taking action to prevent the relationship or group from further falling apart. 
    263 
    264 Rather than helping an ineffectual organization continue to limp feebly along,
    265 this individual stays but withdraws their support, with the idea that by
    266 letting the group collapse, its leadership will finally be forced to take
    267 action to change and improve it. The neglect approach is: “I’m not going to
    268 actively put out fires. I’m just going to let this thing burn to the ground so
    269 we can start fresh.”
    270 
    271 Consider the overworked church member in a struggling congregation. He’s
    272 juggling multiple roles and dealing with a cadre of difficult people. Leaving
    273 isn’t an option because his wife grew up in that church and would never
    274 consider it. He knows raising his concerns to leadership would be ineffective
    275 because he tried that in the past. So exit and voice are off the table. 
    276 
    277 He also doesn’t think things will get better if he sticks around and just keeps
    278 plugging away. Goodbye loyalty. 
    279 
    280 Hello, neglect. 
    281 
    282 This burned-out church member may start doing the bare minimum in his
    283 responsibilities, if that. He’ll say no to requests for his time, money, and
    284 talent. If he sees an issue or problem, he won’t do anything to correct it. He
    285 thinks that those who remain loyal are only perpetuating a state of
    286 dysfunction. By withholding his help, he hopes to push the congregation to a
    287 critical level of failure, which will require the leadership to fix the
    288 underlying issues. 
    289 
    290 Predictors of Response to Dissatisfaction
    291 
    292 So, in the face of dissatisfaction, people can respond with exit, voice,
    293 loyalty, or neglect. 
    294 
    295 A person in declining circumstances conducts an explicit or implicit cost/
    296 benefit analysis in figuring out which path to take.
    297 
    298 In [176]Predicting Exit, Voice, Loyalty, and Neglect, researchers Michael
    299 Withey and William Cooper fleshed out the factors that go into this analysis
    300 when people consider how to respond to dissatisfaction:
    301 
    302 Cost of the Action
    303 
    304 Exit, voice, loyalty, and neglect all come with costs, both direct and
    305 indirect. 
    306 
    307 Exiting a job can result in the loss of income and health benefits; divorcing a
    308 spouse can result in emotional and financial distress; leaving a church can
    309 result in spiritual and social isolation. 
    310 
    311 Raising your voice at work could create rancor with your boss; speaking up in a
    312 marriage could create resentment with your spouse.
    313 
    314 Whether you’re exiting or using your voice, there can also be a loss in the
    315 thing humans hold most dear: status. In leaving or dissenting, you risk
    316 jeopardizing your identity. 
    317 
    318 Staying loyal to a relationship or organization comes with costs, too. If you
    319 keep your job in a toxic office, you’ll have to continue to weather the stress
    320 and debasement that comes with going to work each day. Same thing with staying
    321 in a struggling, conflict-ridden marriage or church. 
    322 
    323 If you decide to be neglectful in your job, it could result in discipline or
    324 blocked opportunities. Neglect in a marriage will only lead to increased
    325 resentment and tension. 
    326 
    327 The exit option tends to have the most dramatic consequences, and is thus much
    328 more reluctantly exercised and typically used as a last resort.
    329 
    330 But there’s no option in the EVLN framework that doesn’t carry downsides; each
    331 has its own pros and cons, and part of how people weigh their choices comes
    332 down to which path they think has more of the former and less of the latter.
    333 
    334 Efficacy of the Response
    335 
    336 In deciding between exit, voice, loyalty, and neglect, people will also
    337 consider which response will be the most effective at resolving their
    338 dissatisfaction.
    339 
    340 A big factor in whether someone thinks a particular response will be effective
    341 is whether they believe there’s hope for improvement. If someone has this hope,
    342 they’re more likely to choose voice or loyalty; if they don’t, they’re more
    343 likely to choose exit or neglect. If an unhappy employee thinks things would be
    344 a lot better at work if their supervisor moved on, and there’s a rumor they’ll
    345 soon be replaced, the employee is more likely to stick around. If a church
    346 member thinks their concerns will be listened to and addressed, they’re more
    347 likely to stay and raise their voice; if they think their concerns will be
    348 dismissed, they’re more likely to leave.
    349 
    350 A significant element in whether someone has hope for a better future is their
    351 prior satisfaction with the group or relationship. If someone’s marriage is
    352 struggling now, but was great for the first decade, they’re more apt to keep
    353 working on it and believe there’s a chance of returning to those happier times.
    354 If someone’s marriage was rocky from the start, they’re more likely to choose
    355 divorce.
    356 
    357 Internal vs. External Locus of Control
    358 
    359 If an individual has an internal locus of control, they’re more likely to
    360 choose a response that’s proactive. That is, if they believe they have control
    361 over their actions and outcomes, they’re more likely to use voice or exit.
    362 
    363 Someone who has an external locus of control — a belief that their life is
    364 controlled by external circumstances — is more likely to passively endure a bad
    365 situation (loyalty or neglect).
    366 
    367 Attractiveness of Alternatives
    368 
    369 If someone feels like there are better options outside their current job/
    370 relationship/church, they’re more likely to leave. 
    371 
    372 If someone’s in a job they dislike and has been fielding hiring interest from
    373 another employer, they’re more likely to quit.
    374 
    375 If, on the other hand, someone feels they won’t be able to do much better in an
    376 alternate situation, they’re more likely to exercise the options of voice,
    377 loyalty, and neglect.
    378 
    379 An individual who’s sixty and in a so-so marriage may not feel bullish about
    380 their prospects of finding another partner and decide they’d rather be with
    381 someone, anyone, than alone.
    382 
    383 Commitment
    384 
    385 The decision to go, stay, or otherwise is also rooted in one’s inner values. 
    386 
    387 Someone in an unhappy marriage who’s deeply committed to the sanctity of the
    388 marriage vow is more likely to choose therapy over divorce. 
    389 
    390 Someone who is disturbed by recent trends in their church but deeply believes
    391 in the tenets of their faith is more likely to stay than exit. 
    392 
    393 Someone who prizes loyalty will stay longer in a job they dislike than someone
    394 who doesn’t. 
    395 
    396 Will Someone Choose Exit, Voice, Loyalty, or Neglect?
    397 
    398 In a series of studies, Withey and Cooper used the above factors to create a
    399 rubric that helps predict which response a dissatisfied employee will use. It
    400 likely carries over to people dissatisfied with other situations as well:
    401 
    402 Exit More Likely When: 
    403 
    404   • costs of exit are low
    405   • costs of voice are high
    406   • prior satisfaction is low
    407   • belief in improvement is low
    408   • commitment is low
    409   • attractive alternatives are available
    410   • individual has an internal locus of control
    411 
    412 Voice More Likely When:
    413 
    414   • costs of exit are high
    415   • costs of voice are low
    416   • prior satisfaction is high
    417   • belief in improvement is high
    418   • commitment is high
    419   • attractive alternatives are not available
    420   • individual has an internal locus of control
    421 
    422 Loyalty More Likely When:
    423 
    424   • costs of exit are high
    425   • costs of voice are high
    426   • prior satisfaction is high
    427   • belief in the likelihood of improvement is high
    428   • commitment is high
    429   • attractive alternatives are not available
    430   • individual has an external locus of control
    431 
    432 Neglect More Likely When:
    433 
    434   • costs of exit are high
    435   • costs of voice are high
    436   • prior satisfaction is low
    437   • belief in the likelihood of improvement is low
    438   • commitment is low
    439   • attractive alternatives are not available
    440   • individual has an external locus of control
    441 
    442 Something that Withey and Cooper didn’t explore, but Hirschman did, is the
    443 phenomenon of people who exercise the option of exit and voice. 
    444 
    445 Hirschman argued that you see people use both exit and voice in situations
    446 where even if they leave a group due to dissatisfaction, they’re still affected
    447 by the group’s actions. 
    448 
    449 You see this phenomenon with people who become disaffected with a church or
    450 religion. They may leave a faith, but they still have friends and family
    451 members who belong to it. Because the disaffected individual still interacts
    452 with these people, whose faith informs these interactions, the disaffected
    453 person is still impacted by the faith, even if they no longer practice it. At
    454 the same time, an individual who leaves a religion may feel that the religion
    455 damaged them somehow, and, though they have removed themselves from its direct
    456 influence, they don’t want to see other people get hurt in the same way. 
    457 
    458 Consequently, people who leave a religion sometimes become its most vocal
    459 critics. 
    460 
    461 Conclusion
    462 
    463 As I mentioned at the start, once I learned about the exit, voice, loyalty, and
    464 neglect paradigm, I started to see it everywhere. If you’re a business owner,
    465 it can help explain why customers react to a dissatisfying experience the way
    466 they do. If you’re in a bad relationship, it can help you think about what
    467 action you want to take. If you’re a leader in a church, it can help you figure
    468 out why some people leave your congregation while others stick around.
    469 
    470 It can also help you understand why struggling groups often continue to
    471 struggle: If a group loses enough good people, it’s apt to enter a death
    472 spiral.
    473 
    474 As you go about dealing with people in all kinds of situations, the ELVN
    475 framework is one mental model you’ll want to keep in your back pocket.
