| description | This study examined workplace status as a moderator of the relationship between organizational constraints and frontline nurses' intent to stay in their profession. Data were collected from 265 nurses working in hospitals designated for caring for patients with COVID-19 across Nigeria. The measurement and structural models were assessed with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed a negative relationship between organizational constraints and intent to stay, whereas workplace status was positively related to intent to stay. Further, the relationship between organizational constraints and intent to stay was moderated by workplace status such that it was more positive when workplace status was high rather than low. The results provide evidence for keeping frontline nurses in their profession by reducing the organizational constraints they encounter and elevating their status in their workplace. |
