1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This study examines the relationships between psychological empowerment, employee engagement, and intention to leave. Employing structural equation modeling, this study analyzes survey data from both academic and non-academic staff in Thailand. Findings reveal that psychological empowerment positively relates to employee engagement, which, in turn, negatively relates to the intention to leave. In addition, psychological empowerment directly affects the intention to leave. This highlights the potential of empowerment-focused interventions as an innovative strategy for improving employee retention, particularly relevant in today's dynamic and challenging work environments. Our study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on positive organizational psychology by demonstrating the efficacy of empowerment initiatives in a non-Western context. Furthermore, it offers practical implications for organizations seeking nonmonetary rewards to foster a thriving workforce by cultivating a sense of meaning, competence, autonomy, and impact among their employees. Future research can explore the broader applicability of empowerment-based strategies across diverse organizational contexts.
