Enhancing Employee Innovation Through Dependence on AI: The Mediating Role of Cognitive Flexibility and Moderating Effect of Job Complexity.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Drawing upon the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, this study explores the mechanism through which Dependence on AI affects employees' innovative behavior, focusing on the mediating role of cognitive flexibility and the moderating role of job complexity. Using questionnaire data from full-time employees collected between December 2024 and February 2025, this study conducts confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, hierarchical regression and the Bootstrap test with AMOS, SPSS and the PROCESS macro. The results show that Dependence on AI significantly and positively predicts employees' innovative behavior, and cognitive flexibility plays a partial mediating role between the two variables. Job Complexity serves as a negative moderator for the association between Cognitive Flexibility and Innovative Behaviors, and the positive linkage of Cognitive Flexibility to Innovative Behaviors becomes relatively weaker when Job Complexity is high. This study expands the cognitive mediating path through which Dependence on AI influences innovative behavior, refines the theoretical boundary of demand-resource interaction in the JD-R model, and provides practical implications for organizations to rationally guide human-machine collaboration and enhance employees' innovative ability in intelligent scenarios.
