§3The math on what we know
Synthesized priors from the live registry: pooled r, studies (k), total N, top study grade, and heterogeneity. Rows flagged for heterogeneity or single-study evidence are directional, not settled — read them as a central tendency.
What meaningful work predicts

| Job Satisfaction | +0.74 | 1 | 3,962 | A | single study |
| Work Engagement | +0.74 | 1 | 6,391 | A | single study |
