Turnover intention is a crucial factor in predicting actual turnover (Falahat et al., 2019). 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 assess factors influencing academician turnover intention in selected local private higher institutions in Klang Valley. Included in this study are one dependent variable (turnover intentions), two independent variables (intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation) and one moderator (gender). The quantitative approach of analysis using data gathered by questionnaire distribution among samples was used in this study. This study assesses the direct relationship between intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and turnover intentions. In this study, primary data will be employed, and a survey questionnaire that had been adopted and modified from earlier studies is used to gather the data. SPSS 22.0 and Smartpls version 4 software were used for the direct and indirect links and testing of model hypotheses. This study provides additional knowledge and an approach to the factors influencing turnover intentions among academicians in Klang Valley.
