Person-organization fit and career success among high-level talents in medical and health professions: the mediating role of calling-a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC health services research, 2025. 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
backgroundHigh-level talents in medical and health professions (HLT-MHP) are essential for the sustainable development of healthcare. However, the industry persistently faces a talent shortage, such as inadequate talent development and difficulty in reflecting the value of talent. Focusing on the career success of HLT-MHP and investigating the factors that influence it can provide a significant reference point for the cultivation and development of talent within the healthcare sector. This study aims to describe the current state of calling, person–organization fit, and career success among HLT-MHP; investigate the relationships between these three factors; and ascertain the mediating role of calling between career success and person–organization fit.
methodsIn this study, 391 HLT-MHP from 125 medical institutions, 5 universities, and 1 research institute in Hunan Province, China were selected by convenience sampling from April to June 2024. The participants were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, a person–organization fit scale, a calling scale, and a career success scale. The relationships between person–organization fit, calling, and career success were explored. Additionally, the mediating role of calling between person–organization fit and career success was examined using SPSS 25.0.
resultsThe average total scores for person–organization fit, calling, and career success were 36.47 (SD 5.15), 49.73 (SD 6.78), and 41.27 (SD 6.98), respectively, all of which were at a moderately high level. Person–organization fit (r = 0.660, P < 0.001) and calling (r = 0.577, P < 0.001) were positively correlated with career success. Bootstrap test results showed that the mediating effect of calling on person–organization fit and career success was 0.129 [95% CI (0.036–0.217), P < 0.001], accounting for 22.05% of the total effect value.
conclusionsThe person–organization fit of HLT-MHP is indirectly associated with career success through calling. Pertinent managers are advised to focus on the interaction between the three factors; enhance the working environment; establish a secure, effective, and harmonious workplace; increase employee support; recognize potential hires; meet their work needs; and assist them in succeeding.
