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 impact of educational leadership, school administrators' influence tactics, and teachers' learning agility on organizational commitment (OC) among primary and secondary school teachers in Northern Cyprus. The research offers significant contributions beyond the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), as educational leadership, school administrators' strategic influence, and learning agility play a crucial role in shaping teachers' organizational commitment. From an educational management perspective, the study highlights how school leadership practices influence teachers' OC levels and provides insights that can inform best practices in different educational systems. Educational institutions aiming to enhance teachers' OC can adapt these findings to develop effective strategies, potentially improving job satisfaction and overall educational quality. Additionally, the study contributes to global educational leadership discussions by offering a comparative perspective on leadership approaches across diverse cultural contexts. The findings from the TRNC case study provide valuable insights into how cultural differences shape leadership strategies and their impact on teaching. As the first study to examine this relationship, it employs multiple regression analysis to investigate the mediating role of learning agility in the effect of influence tactics on OC. The study sample consists of 325 teachers working in primary and secondary schools, with data collected using three validated scales: Teachers' Influence Tactics, Organizational Commitment (OC), and Learning Agility. The results indicate that school administrators' influence tactics and teachers' learning agility significantly impact teachers' OC. Additionally, school administrators' direct influence tactics positively affect teachers' learning agility. Bootstrap technique was used to analyze both direct and indirect effects, revealing that while influence tactics and learning agility positively contribute to OC, the mediating role of learning agility is limited rather than decisive. These findings underscore the strategic importance of leadership behaviors in enhancing teachers' OC and suggest that learning agility serves as a partial but non-decisive mediator. This study provides an empirical basis for future research examining the interplay between leadership tactics, teacher adaptability, and OC across diverse educational contexts, particularly in post-crisis settings like the pandemic.
