Employers' and employees' views on responsibilities for career management in nursing: a cross-sectional survey.
To examine nurse employees' and employers' views about responsibilities for managing nurses' careers. ⋯ New ways of managing nurses' career development that lead to greater independence for employees and greater flexibility for employers, while retaining a high-calibre and competent workforce, are needed. Ultimately, career management responsibilities should not tilt to either side but rather be shared to benefit both parties. Clarifying employers' and employees' responsibilities for career management may help both parties to develop a common understanding of each other's role and to meet their obligations in a constructive dialogue.
