Employee ambidextrous job crafting in organizations: theoretical model, scale development, and dual-path effects mechanisms.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Introduction: While scholars have devoted considerable attention to integrating regulatory-focus theory into the job crafting field, there is no consensus on the fundamental definition, structure, and relationship between the promotion- and prevention-oriented job crafting. Methods: In study 1 (N = 923), the ambidextrous job crafting scale is 4 developed and tested for its factor structure and reliability. In Study 2 (N = 387), the dual-path effects mechanisms of the ambidextrous job crafting are examined using a lagged study design. Results: By integrating ambidexterity theory, we develop and validate a scale to measure ambidextrous job crafting behavior using two separate studies conducted in the Chinese context. Ambidextrous job crafting is defined as the employees' behavior strategies of combining promotion- and prevention-oriented job crafting. The results indicate that there are two distinct forms of job crafting (promotion-oriented and prevention-oriented) and five dimensions for each form (cognitive, emotion, skill, task, and relationship). These dimensions could be measured with 41 items with satisfying reliability and validity. Results of structural equation and bootstrap models indicate that promotion-oriented job crafting is negatively correlated with turnover intention through work meaning, while prevention-oriented job crafting is positively correlated with turnover intention through work meaning and emotional exhaustion. Additionally, the difference and interaction between promotion- and prevention-oriented job crafting are negatively correlated with turnover intention through work meaning and emotional exhaustion. Discussion: Overall, our results underscore the importance of treating job crafting as a dual-path, multi-dimensional concept. The unique insights provide an essential aspects of job crafting.
