1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Employees' relationships with work are multidimensional (affective, cognitive-evaluative, and motivational-behavioral) yet variable-centered studies can mask patterned heterogeneity. We integrated these strands and asked: Which naturally occurring constellations of work attitudes emerge among employees, and are they similar across Poland and Vietnam? Methods: A cross-sectional survey of Polish ( Results: A three-profile solution best balanced fit and parsimony: (1) Moderately Disengaged; (2) Overworked & Discontent; (3) Engaged & Satisfied. Configural similarity held across countries, but means and dispersions differed. Engaged & Satisfied was more prevalent in Vietnam (80%) than Poland (57%), whereas Moderately Disengaged was more common in Poland (36%) than Vietnam (11%). Gender and sector were unrelated to profile membership; managers were overrepresented in Engaged & Satisfied; this group also had longer tenure. Conclusion: Distinct, cross-culturally recurring configurations of work attitudes align with JD-R, Affective Events, and Self-Determination frameworks. Tailored interventions should target development, task design, and recognition to elevate Moderately Disengaged employees, and workload/recovery and social-climate improvements for the Overworked & Discontent group. Cross-national differences in levels and prevalence underscore the need for contextual adaptation of organizational policies.
