Results Structural empowerment had a significantly direct negative effects on supervisor incivility, coworker incivility, and nurses’ intentions to leave their organization, as well as an indirect negative effects on intention to leave the profession through its negative influence on intention to leave the organization. Conclusions Strong evidence points out the importance of making plans to reduce nurses’ intentions to leave their organization and profession, to increase the structural empowerment in organizations and to reduce workplace incivility is presented. Implications for Nursing Management The results of this study can provide guidance for managers attempting to improve working conditions for nurses by drawing attention to the various factors affecting nurses’ intentions to leave.
