Psychosocial job demands, organizational resources, and mental well-being in psychologists: factors associated with quality of work life.

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
backgroundThis study examined the extent to which psychosocial job demands and organizational resources are associated with quality of work life (QWL) and mental well-being in psychologists, using the Job Demands–Resources (JD–R) model as a conceptual framework to guide the selection of predictors and the interpretation of relationships between burnout, engagement, and occupational health.
methodsA cross-sectional correlational design was applied, combining hierarchical multiple regression and a path analysis within a structural equation modelling (SEM) framework. The sample comprised 624 practicing psychologists in Spain who completed validated self-report measures of burnout, job demands, autonomy, social support, work engagement, psychological symptoms, and QWL. Hierarchical regression was used to examine the incremental explained variance of sociodemographic, organizational, and psychological predictors.
resultsFindings indicated that job demands, organizational resources, engagement, and indicators of mental health accounted for 45% of the variance in QWL. Emotional exhaustion, psychological demands, dedication, and anxiety–insomnia emerged as the strongest correlates. The final path model, specified with observed variables, confirmed that psychological demands (β = − .16), emotional exhaustion (β = − .21), and anxiety–insomnia (β = − .16) were negatively associated with QWL, whereas autonomy (β = .13), perceived social support (β = .07), and dedication (β = .25) showed positive associations. The model explained 44% of the variance in QWL.
conclusionsOverall, the findings highlight the relevance of psychosocial demands and resources in understanding variations in psychologists’ QWL. Strategies aimed at reducing emotional strain and enhancing autonomy, social support, and work engagement may be considered in future intervention-oriented research for promoting practitioners’ well-being and sustaining professional functioning.
