Turnover is happening more and more and the lifelong work that used to be so common no longer exists. We want to understand the implications and what has more impact on the intention of employees to leave and on their performance. With a 319 sample, our purpose was to understand if motivation, burnout and work engagement have any influences in quitting intentions. Also, we wanted to investigate if these three variables had any effect on employee’s perceived performance. Furthermore, the present project seeks to contribute to the deepening of these themes also through the adaptation of Schattke-Locke-Scale scale following the guidelines of the International Test Commission. The most interesting results were the positive relationships between burnout and intention to quit, achievement motivation and performance, and work engagement and performance. The negative associations between performance and burnout and between extrinsic motivation and intention to quit were also very interesting.
