Key Points

This research aims to analyze the structural factors affecting the turnover intention of public officials in basic local governments.
Utilized data from the Korean Administrative Research Institute's 2024-2025 survey on civil servants.
Conceptualized frontline burdens and informal relationship perceptions as unique job demands in local government.
Verified connections between job demands, job stress, job satisfaction, and turnover intention using structural equation modeling.
Frontline burdens were strongest predictors of job stress (p<0.05).
Negative perceptions of informal relationships significantly increased job tension (p<0.05).
The pathway from job stress reduction to increased turnover intention was statistically significant.
