Investigating the role of perceived career growth as a mediator in linking job autonomy, occupational self-efficacy, and LMX to workplace deviance.

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
backgroundThis study postulates a theoretical framework based on social determination theory, suggesting that employees' likelihood of workplace deviance can be reduced by their satisfaction with needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Thus, we propose that job autonomy, occupational self-efficacy, and leader-member exchange (LMX) relationships are negatively related to workplace deviance. Additionally, perceived career growth is proposed to mediate these relationships.
methodsThe data were collected from 305 employees working in high-tech firms in Jiangsu province, China, through self-reported questionnaires during the two distinct periods. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data.
findingsThe results supported the proposed hypotheses. Job autonomy, occupational self-efficacy, and LMX had a negative effect on workplace deviance. Moreover, job autonomy, occupational self-efficacy, and LMX positively affected perceived career growth. Finally, perceived career growth negatively mediated the effect of job autonomy, LMX, and occupational self-efficacy on workplace deviance.
conclusionThe study concludes that perceived career growth is a significant mediator between job autonomy, occupational self-efficacy, LMX, and workplace deviance. This finding offers key implications for both theory and practice.
