TLDR
In this article, the authors developed and tested a model of job satisfaction and intended turnover in the large CPA firm environment and found that job satisfaction showed strong significance in a multiple regression equation predicting the probability of turnover.Abstract:

In addition, eleven dimensions of job satisfaction developed through factor analysis, as well as a “career preparation” variable, correlated positively with a measure of overall job satisfaction and negatively with a measure of the probability of turnover.read more
