    abstract = {Studies on Malaysian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) stresses are hardly found. In the
literature survey conducted, stress can have impediments such as burnouts and thus, turnover intentions. This
study’s aim is to investigate the associations of turnover to stressors (i.e., work relationships, work-life balance,
overload, job security, control, resources and communication, aspect of the job and pay and benefits) and
burnout dimensions (i.e., emotional exhaustion, cynicism and professional efficacy) in the Malaysian SMEs.
Using An Organisational Screening Tool (ASSET) Model of stress developed by the owner/manager’s levels
of stress are measured. Meanwhile, levels of burnout were measured using Maslach’s Burnout
Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS). Finally, turnover was measured using items of intention to quit. The 150
Majlis Amanah Rakyat’s (MARA) entrepreneurs/managers participated in the field survey conducted. The
study discovered that stressors and burnout dimensions were associated with the turnover intentions of the
sample.}
