Remote Work Opportunities and Preferences Among Public Health Employees: Implications for Job Satisfaction, Burnout, and Retention.
Article in Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to describe individual and organizational characteristics among those who report working remotely and examine how concordance between public health employees' work preferences and their actual work situations relates to burnout, satisfaction, and intention to leave.
designThis cross-sectional study utilizes the 2024 Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH WINS). Bivariate relationships were analyzed by conducting chi-squared tests of individual and organizational characteristics by respondents' reported work situation, work preference, and concordance between work situation and work preference. Multivariate logistic regression models of workforce outcomes were performed holding race/ethnicity, gender, age, education level, public health degree attainment, role classification, tenure at current agency, current employer, current employment status, full-time employee, supervisory status, setting, and governance constant.
settingA nationally representative sample of government public health employees.
participants55 742 government public health employees.
main outcome measuresJob satisfaction, burnout, and intention to leave.
resultsAmong respondents, most worked in-person, and 52.2% reported that their work situation matched their preference. Job satisfaction was high for the majority of respondents. Nearly 20% reported burnout, and 24.8% reported that they intended to leave their organization within a year. Work situation and preference varied significantly by age, education, tenure, employment status, and organizational setting. Older and less educated staff were more likely to work in their preferred setting (in-person). Multivariate models showed that concordance between work situation and preference was significantly associated with higher satisfaction and lower burnout and intent to leave.
conclusionsFindings show that employees whose work situations align with their work preferences report higher job satisfaction, lower burnout, and decreased intention to leave their organizations. These effects are most pronounced among younger and highly educated workers, who experience more difficulty in achieving this alignment.
