- Abstract
Germany faces a crippling shortage of professional caregivers, not least in the elderly care sector. The nursing crisis not only jeopardises the care of older citizens, it also exacts a toll on the caregiving workforce by exacerbating existing workplace grievances, including poor working conditions, lack of recognition and rationalisation pressures in daily care work. Against this background the article examines reactions of nurses in geriatric care to the afore-mentioned crises, combining evidence from two quantative surveys with in-depth qualitative interviews and addresses the categories of exit, voice and loyalty. It is revealed that the nature of the choice between different modes of reaction is characterised by ambivalence. This ambiguity results in nurses displaying a preference for exit and loyalty over voice.
