Turnover intention is a crucial factor in predicting employee turnover, and turnover intentions are linked to actual turnover (Griffeth, Hom, & Gaertner, 2016). The ability to understand the determinants of turnover intentions is vital since it will lead to actual turnover. The purpose of this research is to develop a conceptual framework for academicians in selected local private higher universities in Klang Valley, Malaysia based on previous studies. The study has found three factors that influence turnover intentions mainly intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, work-life balance and gender as a moderator. This study provides additional knowledge and an approach to the factors influencing turnover intentions among academicians in Klang Valley.
