Autonomous enhancement or emotional depletion? The dual-path mechanism of AI usage on employees' work behavior.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
As a core driver of social progress, artificial intelligence (AI) has a far-reaching impact on employee behavior in the workplace. A dual-path model based on the SOR theory reveals the dual effects of AI usage. A four-stage longitudinal study analyzed data from 285 finance professionals, showing that AI usage can both boost innovative work behavior by enhancing sense of self-determination and predict work disengagement behavior via the emotional exhaustion elicited by AI-associated technostressors. Leaders' AI symbolization plays a key moderating role, strengthening AI's positive effect on sense of self-determination and lessening its negative impact on emotional exhaustion. This research offers theoretical and practical guidance for organizations to improve employee management strategies.
