Summary:Amidst financial crisis in Greece, migration seems to have become an alternative for highly skilled individuals who wish to develop their career. As such, the purpose of this study is to examine the intention of academics to leave Greece. In doing so, we incorporate work overload as a predictor and we highlight both the mediating role of a novel construct, that is thriving, and organisational tenure as a moderator of this indirect relationship. Data were collected from 273 academics employed in a large public university of Greece. Results offered support to our hypotheses showing that thriving mediated the relationship between work overload and intention to leave Greece and, further, this indirect effect is contingent on organisational tenure.
