The impact of supervisor control on employee performance and wellbeing in COVID-19 telecommuting: based on the Job Demands-Resources model.
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
Background: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, telecommuting has become a common work arrangement, highlighting the critical role of supervisors in influencing employee performance and wellbeing. However, research on how supervisor behavior affects employees in this context remains limited. This study examines how supervisor control impacts employee task performance and sleep quality during COVID-19 telecommuting, using the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model as a theoretical framework. It also explores the moderating roles of supervisor and family support. Methods: Data were collected from 303 Chinese employees during the nationwide lockdown, with two assessments spaced 2 weeks apart. Results: The results indicate that ego depletion mediates the relationship between supervisor control and both task performance and sleep problems. Supervisor support moderates this relationship by buffering the negative effects of supervisor control on ego depletion, while family support does not have a buffering effect. Conclusion: This study provides empirical support for the JD-R model in the context of telecommuting during the pandemic, and underscores the importance of supervisor support in mitigating the adverse effects of high control environments.
