This study aims at examining the impact of job match and remuneration on job burnout which subsequently affects turnover intention among pharmacists in Pakistan. A preliminary study was conducted with a sample of five pharmacists in Pakistan. A series of interviews were conducted among five pharmacists working in different hospitals in the Pakistan. The results showed that the pharmacists were likely to be inclined towards turnover intention. This is because most of them perceived that their jobs were not fulfilling enough in terms of job match and remuneration package offered by their employers. In fact, they also experience job burnout that triggered their intention to leave the company. In sum, this study generates initial understanding for the researchers to reach more conclusive evidence on the factors affecting turnover intention in pharmaceutical industry.
