1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Job satisfaction is a key component of organizational well-being and performance. This study explores the relationship between job characteristics (demands and resources), organizational and group identification, and affective job satisfaction, drawing on the Job Demands-Resources model and social identity theory.

methodsA cross-sectional design was used with a sample of 420 employed individuals (49% men and 51% women), with a mean age of 41.58 years (SD = 9.95). Participants completed an online questionnaire assessing job demands (quantity and complexity), job resources (competency development, use of competencies, and decision latitude), and identification (organizational and group). Most participants held a university degree (48.1%) and had a permanent contract (79.8%). A MIMIC model was applied to test the hypothesized relationships.

resultsJob demands defined by quantity were inversely associated with job satisfaction, while competency development and use were positively associated. Organizational and group identification also showed significant positive relationships with job satisfaction. However, task complexity and decision latitude were not significant predictors. DISCUSSION: These findings underscore the importance of integrating both job design and social identity factors to enhance job satisfaction and inform organizational strategies aimed at promoting employee well-being.
