§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 drives role clarity
| Predictor | r | k | N | Grade | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Realistic Job Preview | +0.10 | 1 | 871 | B | single study |
What role clarity predicts
| Outcome | r | k | N | Grade | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Voluntary Turnover | −0.21 | 1 | 795 | A | single study |
