This study investigates the relationship among job attitudes (job satisfaction and turnover intentions), heavy work investment (work engagement and workaholism), and work motivation (promotion focus and prevention focus). We develop a structural equation model to analyze data collected from a sample of banking employees. Our findings show that job satisfaction is a good predictor of work engagement (positive work investment), which, in turn, is related to progressive motivation (promotion focus). On the other hand, turnover intentions predict workaholism, which leads to preventive focus (waning motivation).
