Abstract
The manufacturing industry, a linchpin of global economic activity, grapples with the pervasive challenges of high employee turnover and burnout. This study delves into the intricate relationship between job burnout and turnover

Higher levels of Occupational Exhaustion are linked to greater Turnover Intention, underscoring the urgent need for interventions to address work related stress.
