Innovating to lead: impact of organizational socialization on innovative work behavior in fintech companies mediated by organization-based self-esteem.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. 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
backgroundThe aims of this research are (1) to examine the direct effects of organizational socialization (OS)factors (Training (TR), understanding (UN), coworker support (CWS), and future prospects(FP)) on employees’ innovative work behavior (IWB) and (2) to evaluate the mediating effect of organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) on the relationships between organizational socialization factors and innovative work behavior.
methodsUsing a quantitative cross-sectional research design, data were obtained from 216 usable questionnaires collected through snowball and convenience sampling from employees working in the financial technology (FinTech) sector in Saudi Arabia. The collected data were analyzed using Mplus version 8 software, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied as a statistical technique.
resultsThe results indicated that the direct relationships between OS factors and employee innovative behavior were not significant. In contrast, the full mediating effect of OBSE on the relationships among the three OS factors and employee innovative work was supported. These findings suggest that the feeling of OBSE from employees’ perspective is important for enhancing the positive impact of OS factors, in particular, UN, CWS, and FP, on IWB. The findings also highlight the need to develop a work environment in which employees feel valued, competent, and essential to the organization’s success.
conclusionBased on the above findings, this study suggests that enhancing OBSE is essential for strengthening the positive impact of OS factors on IWB. It is recommended that managers establish a climate in which employees feel valued, competent, and essential to the organization's success. These strategies will increase employees’ feelings of OBSE, which will in turn contribute positively to IWB.
