Association Between AI Awareness and Emotional Exhaustion: The Serial Mediation of Job Insecurity and Work Interference with Family.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in the working environment, employees' AI awareness, defined as the extent to which they perceive their job could be replaced by AI, may correlate with their feelings, work-family balance, and emotional status. This study explores the mediation mechanism underlying the association between AI awareness and emotional exhaustion, mediated by job insecurity and work interference with family. Using a sample of a total 303 employees (male = 49.8%), this study conducts regressions with the Bootstrap method for mediation mechanism exploration. AI awareness positively predicts emotional exhaustion. AI awareness positively predicts job insecurity, which in turn positively predicts emotional exhaustion. AI awareness positively predicts work interference with family, which in turn positively predicts emotional exhaustion. Job insecurity and work interference with family serially mediate the association between AI awareness and emotional exhaustion. The findings emphasize the importance for company managers to address job security concerns and support work-life balance by positioning AI as a significant workplace stressor that leads to emotional exhaustion. Practical implications include the need for transparent communication, retraining programs, and flexible work policies to mitigate AI-related stress and promote employee well-being.
