The engineering value follows from the Gaussian kinetic term. At an interacting renormalization-group fixed point, momentum-dependent self-energy diagrams change the kinetic coefficient, and restoring its normalization requires wave-function renormalization. The resulting anomalous dimension $\eta$ changes the full scaling dimension to

At order $g_0^2$, use the two-point sunset diagram: two quartic vertices are joined by three internal propagators, with one external line attached to each vertex. Unlike the one-vertex tadpole diagram, its self-energy $\Sigma (p)$ depends nontrivially on the external momentum $p$. The coefficient of $p^2$ in the expansion of $\Sigma (p)$ changes the kinetic term, so normalizing that term requires wave-function renormalization and gives a nonzero field anomalous dimension.

Wave-function renormalization rescales a field so that its kinetic term or propagator residue has the chosen normalization. Its scale dependence gives the field's anomalous dimension.
