I Want to Quit

In the article, a model was developed to examine turnover intentions and was subsequently tested on state government employees. The findings from this model robustly indicated that quit intentions were lower among satisfied and high-performing employees. Contrary to what was expected, the results also demonstrated that public service motivation was positively associated with employee turnover intentions. On the other hand, participation in decision making, mission-contribution, and a fair reward system were not associated with employee leave intentions. The implications of these findings are thoroughly discussed in the article.
