Methodology/Approach: The method chosen was the systematic literature review, Methodi Ordinatio being adopted to investigate the causes of turnover intention among employees. Findings: The results showed that three main factors contribute to turnover intention: a lack of leader empowerment, inadequate task support, and the aspirations of young professionals. Other factors observed include a lack of emotional commitment, recognition, perspective, organizational diversity, training opportunities, support from colleagues, involvement in decision-making, and alignment with company values.
