Transformational leadership and employee AI usage: the role of perceived organizational support and competitive workplace climate.
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 3 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
Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become integral to organizational transformation and daily management, making employee AI usage (AI-U) an increasingly prevalent phenomenon. However, despite its growing importance, little is known about how leadership and contextual factors shape employees' usage of AI. Methods: Based on social cognitive theory, this study investigates the mediating role of perceived organizational support (POS) and the moderating effect of competitive workplace climate (CWC) in the relationship between transformational leadership (TL) and employee AI-U. Data were collected from 525 employees in China through an online survey and analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrap methods. Results: The results revealed that TL positively predicts employee AI-U, and that POS partially mediates this relationship. Moreover, CWC significantly moderates the indirect effect, such that the mediating effect of POS is weakened in a high-level CWC. Discussion: These findings enrich the understanding of AI adoption from a social cognitive perspective and offer practical insights for fostering supportive organizational conditions conducive to AI application.
