When digital-AI transformation sparks adaptation: job crafting and AI knowledge in job insecurity contexts.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: As AI technology continues to rise, numerous studies have explored its impact on employee behavior. However, little is known about employees' responses to the integration of AI in the digital transformation process. Drawing on Conservation of Resources Theory, this study aims to examine the impact of digital-AI transformation on employees' job crafting behaviors, focusing on the mediating role of job insecurity and the moderating effect of AI knowledge. Methods: A two-wave survey was conducted among 400 employees actively using AI tools in digitally transforming organizations, resulting in 370 valid responses. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 and the PROCESS macro (version 3.3) to test the proposed hypotheses. Results: The results indicate that digital-AI transformation has a significant positive effect on employees' job crafting ( Discussion: This study extends the application of Conservation of Resources Theory by emphasizing the potentially positive role of job insecurity under specific contextual conditions, while also offering a critical reflection on the ethical implications of using job insecurity as a motivational tool. It is suggested that organizations should leverage employees' AI knowledge to enhance job crafting, rather than relying on stress as a driver. Future research is encouraged to explore additional antecedents of job crafting.
