It was found that External Employability made anegative moderating effect on the negative relationship of Qualitative Job Insecurityand Self-acceptance/Relationship, it made a positive moderating effect on thenegative relationship of Quantitative Job Insecurity and Job Value/Self-acceptance; internal employability made a negative moderating effect on the negative relationshipof Qualitative Job Insecurity and relationship; it made a positive moderating effect onthe negative relationship of Quantitative Job Insecurity and Job Value/Welfare/Self-acceptance;(4) moreover, this study also tested for procedure justice as amoderator between the relationship of job insecurity and job well-being.
