Drawing on the conversation of resource theory, this study investigated the relationship between academic justice climate and their employability. We considered the potential mediating role of researchers' psychological security and moderating role of their resilience. Using two-wave time-lagged data collected from 432 researchers in universities and research insinuations in China, we found that academic justice climate was positively related to researchers' employability via increased psychological security. Resilience alleviated the positive relationship between academic justice climate and psychological security, and the mediating effect of academic justice climate on employability through enhanced psychological security. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings in final.
