Competing strain and resource pathways linking AI-enabled work systems to employee wellbeing.

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
Purpose: With the growing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into contemporary workplaces, understanding how AI-enabled work systems influence employee wellbeing has become an important concern within HRM research, digital work literature, and future-of-work scholarship. Design/methodology/approach: Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model and Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study examines the mediating roles of technostress and psychological resilience in the relationships between AI adoption, digital work intensity, and employee wellbeing, while also testing the moderating role of perceived organisational support. Data were collected from 516 employees in the Indian IT industry and analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Findings: The findings suggest that the direct effect of AI adoption on employee wellbeing remains unclear, while digital work intensity positively influences wellbeing. Both AI adoption and digital work intensity significantly affect technostress and psychological resilience, reflecting the dual nature of AI-enabled work environments. Technostress does not significantly influence employee wellbeing, whereas psychological resilience is a significant predictor and mediator. Perceived organisational support was positively associated with employee wellbeing; however, its moderating effect on the relationship between technostress and employee wellbeing was not significant. Originality/value: The study is original because it shows that AI-based work systems create both strain and resource-building processes. The results also indicate that psychological resilience has a stronger influence on employees' psychological responses than technological strains. The paper offers a fresh perspective on employees' psychological responses, digital transformation, and the impact of AI on the human factor in technology-rich work environments.
