Not All Overtime Is Equal: Differential Effects of Overtime Motivations on Employees' Sustainable Consumption Behavior.
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
Employees increasingly experience blurred boundaries between work and private life, yet little is known about how workplace experiences influence consumer behavior beyond the workplace. Drawing on conservation of resources theory and ego depletion theory, and adopting the research perspective from the field of work-life spillover, this study employs survey data from 1030 Chinese employees to investigate the relationships among diverse overtime motives, perceived control, and sustainable consumption behavior, as well as the differences in these relationships within family and organizational contexts. The findings reveal that proactive overtime motivations (development-driven, subsistence-driven, and belonging-driven) are positively associated with green purchasing behavior, whereas reactive overtime motivations (escape-type, peer pressure, and mandatory) are negatively associated with reduced consumption behavior. Further analyses show that perceived control partially explains the positive relationship between proactive overtime motivations and green purchasing behavior, but does not mediate the associations between reactive overtime motivations and reduced consumption behavior. In addition, family emotional support strengthens compensatory consumption tendencies among employees experiencing involuntary overtime, whereas organizational green climate can strengthen the positive association between belonging-driven overtime motivation and green purchasing behavior. This study extends consumer behavior research by identifying overtime motivation as an important work-related correlate of sustainable consumption. The findings offer practical implications for managing overtime and fostering organizational green climates that support sustainable consumer behavior.
