How does uncertainty avoidance affect employee voice behavior through the dual-path ways of work engagement and psychological security?
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Individual traits may have an important impact on employee voice behavior. Considering the different purposes and potential risk exposure of promotive/prohibitive voice, this study constructs a two-path model of the effect of uncertainty avoidance on employee promotive/prohibitive voice based on the Uncertainty Management Theory, examining the mediating roles of work engagement and psychological security, as well as the moderating role of empowering leadership. Through a survey of 417 Chinese employees, the results show that (1) Uncertainty avoidance positively affects promotive voice through work engagement; (2) Uncertainty avoidance negatively affects prohibitive voice through psychological security; (3) Empowering leadership moderates the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between uncertainty avoidance and promotive voice, and high-level empowering leadership significantly enhances the indirect effect of work engagement and strengthens the relationship between uncertainty avoidance and promotive voice; (4) Empowering leadership fails to moderate the relationship between uncertainty avoidance and psychological security. The findings have practical implications for clarifying the mechanisms of uncertainty avoidance on employee voice behavior and promoting employee voice behavior in multiple ways.
