Abstract

Turnover intention is a globally acknowledged challenge, which is considered to be one of the issues that every country has in this era. Many researchers also conducted various investigations and reported their findings in recent years. Turnover intention has always been a hot topic discussed by researchers. This study provides a systematic review of the literature assessing the key factors affecting turnover intention. In this study, several platforms were used as references in searching for articles, such as Scopus and Google Scholar, which have global reach. All published, peer-reviewed articles studying turnover intention were considered for inclusion. The findings indicated that, as the best variable to predict turnover behavior, turnover intention is influenced by many factors; the key factors are mainly involved demographic variables, leadership styles, organizational characteristics, and job satisfaction. These factors are critically evaluated in this study, which also organizes and reviews prior research to guide the direction of future investigations.
