Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Predicted health-workforce shortages across Europe emphasise the need for robust retention policies. • We modelled effects of nurse workload, work environments, individual characteristics on intention-to-leave. • Four out of ten nurses would leave their organisation due to dissatisfaction. • A lack of opportunities for advancement is the strongest predictor of intention-to-leave. • Having opportunities for advancement reduces the effect of individual characteristics on intention-to-leave.
