Background. In addition to the usual difficulty of managing human capital in any organization, healthcare institutions have other
problems to solve arising from the circumstances and the very nature of the work they perform, such as the ethical pressure on
sta6, emotional exhaustion, the distribution of work shifts, or the general shortage for nurses. In many cases, this situation has an
impact on the quality of care. Objective. .e main objective of this research is to compile, in a single document, human resource
practices that help health centre managers improve results in terms of performance and quality of care, as well as avoid the
intention of abandoning the job, speci9cally related to the work of nurses. Methods. To this end, a systematic literature review has
been performed based on 229 papers published in the Web of Science database, from which the practical implications for nurses
proposed by these authors have been extracted. Results. .e main results suggest that developing a6ective commitment helps to
improve organizational performance and enhance patient safety culture. Furthermore, improving communication and meaningfulness
of work, recognition by superiors, or job >exibility would improve the quality of outcomes, for the work of nurses.
Conclusions and Implications for Nursing. Stimulating normative commitment, reducing excessive control, and paying attention
to job burnout and job stress help combat the intention of voluntary turnover or leaving the job, especially in the case of nurses
