Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of Grit, work-life balance, and compensation on turnover intention among millennial employees, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating variable.

Questionnaires were disseminated via Google Forms through various social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Instagram, as well as distributed among acquaintances residing in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (JABODETABEK). Out of 120 respondents engaged, 107 met the criteria for inclusion in the analysis. The analysis was done with SMARTPLS version 4. Findings: The results of this study show that Grit has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction, work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction.

Grit has a negative and significant effect on turnover intention, Grit has a negative and significant effect on turnover intention through job satisfaction. Practical Implications: This research not only provides a deeper understanding of the factors that influence workers' decisions to survive or move, but also enriches the literature by providing empirical confirmation of the role of job satisfaction mediation in the relationship between Grit and turnover intention. Originality/Value: This research is the first study to confirm the role of job satisfaction as a variable that mediates the effect of Grit on turnover intention.
