Abstract	The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted workplace dynamics, particularly in high-risk sectors like manufacturing. This study examines the relationships between perceived infection risk and turnover intention among employees in Northern Malaysia's manufacturing industry. Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model and Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, the research addresses how perceived infection risks influence turnover intentions. Through a quantitative approach, data is collected via self-administered questionnaires from manufacturing operators in manufacturing firms in Northern Malaysia. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) via AMOS software are applied to analyse the hypothesized relationships. The result indicates that perceived infection risk positively and significantly affects turnover intentions among manufacturing operators.
