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: Female knowledge workers in tourism enterprises face intensive emotional labor, seasonal demand fluctuation, and gendered work-family expectations that shape their capacity for proactive job redesign. However, the psychological mechanisms through which self-efficacy is associated with job crafting in this population, and the boundary conditions under which contextual resources amplify or substitute for internal resources, remain underspecified. Methods: Drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study investigates how self-efficacy is associated with job crafting through parallel mediation by self-reflection and psychological resilience, and how perceived organizational support (POS) conditions these pathways. Survey data were collected from 576 female employees in Chinese tourism enterprises across four provinces. Analyses included confirmatory factor analysis, hierarchical regression, and bootstrap-based moderated mediation. Results: Self-efficacy shows a significant positive association with job crafting (β = 0.298, Conclusions: This study contributes to the job crafting literature by distinguishing cognitive and adaptive resource pathways through which self-efficacy operates, and by demonstrating that organizational support functions asymmetrically across pathways-amplifying cognitive resource conversion while substituting for adaptive resource conversion. Tourism enterprises should balance organizational support with employees' internal resource development.
