“…Although Teng et al (2019) found that job insecurity can promotes employees’ innovative behavior. This finding is consistent with the conclusions of most of those previous researches on the impact of job insecurity on positive behaviors, that is, job insecurity has a significant negative impact on employees’ positive behaviors, such as voice behavior ( Yin and Chung, 2019 ) and extra-role behavior ( Yu et al, 2021 ). It may be related to the increase of psychological stress and the decrease of organizational commitment of employees ( Chirumbolo et al, 2017 ) caused by job insecurity.…”

Job insecurity is considered an important antecedent of an employee’s creativity. Though, the relationship between job insecurity and proactive behavior has been neglected in previous human resources management studies. The aim of this study is to explore the influence of job insecurity on employees’ proactive behavior and its mechanism. Based on the social cognitive theory and cognitive appraisal theory, two types of cognitive appraisal of employee’s job insecurity (hindrance vs. challenge) as mediator variables of job insecurity and proactive behavior association. In addition, the moderator roles of self-efficacy are examined. This study is carried out with 257 employees from Chinese firms to examine the hypothesized moderated mediation model by using the hierarchical regression analysis and the bootstrap. The results showed a different effect of job insecurity depending on its conceptualization. The results show that job insecurity has a negative effect on employees’ proactive behavior. At the same time, cognitive appraisal of employees’ job insecurity mediated the association between job insecurity and employee’s proactive behavior. Self-efficacy not only moderates the relationship between job insecurity and cognitive appraisal but also moderate the cognitive appraisal’s mediation effect between job insecurity and proactive behavior. The study’s theoretical and practical contributions and future research are discussed.

Under turbulent, boundaryless, and Internet age, the characteristics of career sustainability development have shifted from the perspective of development within the organization to the career development track of self-efficacy. New employees usually face the difficult stage of adapting to the new environment and establishing interpersonal relationships with new colleagues. When new employees enter an organization, they usually have different implicit followership cognitions. Previous studies have focused on the treatment of new employees by the organization and the leader, however, the implicit followership cognitive state of new employees has not been studied specifically. This research integrates employees' positive and negative implicit followership, perceived supervisor support, workplace friendship, and perceived self-efficacy into a research framework. This study used a questionnaire survey by an online professional survey website. A total of 394 valid questionnaires were collected. Structural equation model (SEM) analysis was carried out and according to the results, new employees' positive and negative implicit followership significantly affects perceived supervisor support. Furthermore, perceived supervisor support had a significant impact on perceived self-efficacy. Moreover, perceived supervisor support was found in a mediating role between the relationship of implicit followership theories and perceived self-efficacy. Finally, workplace friendship was found to be a significant moderator in the relationship between perceived supervisor support and perceived self-efficacy. Based on the research results, business managers are suggested to pay more attention to new employees' self-cognition of their job roles and enhance the self-efficacy of new employees in the entry stage.

“…However, until now, even when this relationship could be assumed, it is ideally a derived one without any sufficient empiricism. Besides, the mediation tests alluded to in the present study, are not mentioned anywhere in the study by Yu et al (2021). Therefore, it was necessary then to hypothesize that: H 5 .…”

“…In a related argument by Yu et al (2021), there is another point of view against which to derive a possible linkage amongst these variables, but definitely with marked weaknesses. These scholars argue that workplace friendship results in the achievement of individuals' emotional needs in the organization, knowledge sharing, mutual help among workmates, harmonious working atmosphere characterized by mutual trust and love and increased resource investment in extrarole behavior.…”
