When work makes me a penny-pincher: the effect of working objectification on saving intentions.
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
backgroundObjectification is becoming increasingly pervasive at work. However, how individuals suffering from working objectification alter their consumption behavior remains unknown. Through four studies, this paper examines the effect of working objectification on saving intentions, the underlying role of psychological security and two boundary conditions—social support and time orientation—from societal and individual perspectives.
methodsDrawing on an investigation and three laboratory experiments, this paper investigates how working objectification influences saving intentions.
resultsWorking objectification enhances saving intentions through the underlying mechanism of decreased psychological security. This effect is mitigated when a high (vs. low) level of social support serves as a buffer. Moreover, individuals with a present (vs. future) time orientation are less influenced by working objectification, leading to a smaller decline in psychological security and lower saving intentions.
conclusionsThis research contributes to understanding how and why working objectification influences employees’ saving intentions and offers practical insights for employees, business entities and policymakers.
