ABSTRACT
This paper aims to analyze how work overload influences turnover
intentions of newly hired junior auditors in public accounting offices.
Job satisfaction, work related stress and work life conflicts are used
as mediating variables between work overload and turnover intention.
This study employed 141 auditors from several accounting firms operating
in the Greater Jakarta region. The sample was selected using purposive
sampling. Three mediation hypotheses were tested using Structural
Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that work overload has a
significant effect on increasing turnover intention through both job
satisfaction and work related stress. In comparison, work overload does
not influence turnover intention through work life balance. This may be
due to the nature of the respondents, in which a majority of the newly
hired accountants employed in this study are unmarried.
