Empowerment approach or burden avoidance? How and when leaders' after-hours electronic communication expectations influence subordinates' job crafting.

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
In the digital-intelligent era where digital communication management is widely implemented in enterprises, how subordinates appropriately reshape their jobs in response to leaders' after-hours electronic communication expectations (LAECE) is a critical issue in organizational management. Grounded in cognitive appraisal theory and regulatory focus theory, this study investigates the mechanisms and boundary conditions through which LAECE influences approach-oriented and avoidance-oriented job crafting. Using an experience sampling method, 124 subordinates were tracked over five consecutive days. Data analysis revealed that LAECE positively influences both approach-oriented and avoidance-oriented job crafting. Organization-based self-esteem and work intensification mediate these relationships, respectively. Promotion focus and prevention focus positively moderate the effects of LAECE on organization-based self-esteem and work intensification, respectively, and further strengthen the respective mediating effects. These findings contribute marginally to bridging the theoretical gap in understanding how subordinates cope with LAECE challenges and offer guidance for implementing appropriate job crafting to adapt to digital work contexts.
