Abstract: Purpose This study aims to investigate how role overload and work-family conflict influence turnover intention and job satisfaction among public employees, providing insights for management practices to enhance employee well-being and organizational effectiveness. Design/Methods Quantitative data were collected from 390 public employees in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the relationships between role overload, work-family conflict, job satisfaction, and turnover intention. Results The study reveals that role overload positively influences work-family conflict, which in turn negatively impacts job satisfaction and increases turnover intention among public sector employees. Furthermore, job satisfaction is found to negatively affect turnover intention. Conclusion The findings highlight the importance of addressing role overload and work-family conflict to mitigate turnover intention and enhance job satisfaction among public employees. From a practical perspective, this study suggests that organizations should prioritize initiatives aimed at reducing role overload and managing work-family conflict to foster a positive work environment and retain talented employees. Socially, the study underscores the significance of supporting employees in balancing work and family responsibilities to promote their overall well-being and contribute to societal welfare.
