Abstract: This study explores the effects of antecedent factors and employee engagement on burnout and intention to leave by investigating the mediating effects of employee engagement and burnout in the relationship between antecedent factors (perceived organisational support, job characteristics, rewards and recognition, and employee voice) and turnover intention. Questionnaire surveys were administered to 400 employees in Amman-Jordan's telecommunication sector, of which 291 were valid for analysis. First, validity and reliability analyses were conducted, followed by a structural equation modelling analysis to define the causal relationship between study variables. The results confirmed that antecedent factors positively affect employee engagement. Furthermore, employee engagement negatively mediates the relationship between antecedent factors and intention to leave. This work adds a more detailed model to the extant literature that explains antecedents and consequences in terms of burnout reduction and intention to leave. Furthermore, unlike previous studies, this model provides empirical evidence from a non-Western context.
