In the era of knowledge economy, global competition is more and more fierce. For enterprises, constantly updated knowledge becomes crucial to remain their competitive. In order to maintain flexibility and adaptability, enterprises adopt a “flexible employment” system instead of the traditional form of “lifetime employment”, which means boundaryless career era is arriving. Knowledge talents faced with turbulent external environment and continuous changing of internal environment, they turns on the lifelong employability of attention from the focus on lifelong employment. As a personal resource, employability affect employees’ job insecurity and happiness levels, while well-being is an important indicator of the quality of individuals’ life, it will further affect one’s job performance and organizational commitments. Currently, study on perceived employability is still at an initial stage in Chinese. There are still differences about mechanism research on the relationship between perceived employability, job insecurity and well-being. In this study, based on the correlation analysis of domestic 569 questionnaires data samples, use the methods of structural equation model to probe mediation mechanisms existing on the relationships among perceived employability, job insecurity and three dimensions of SWB. The main conclusions are as the following:1.The independent sample T-test and ANOVA analysis show that knowledge talents of different age, gender, marital status, education level, length of service, position have significant differences on perceived employability; Different position of knowledge talents exist significant differences on job insecurity.2. Perceived employability has impact on job insecurity and three dimensions of SWB. Perceived employability not only had positive effect on positive emotion and life satisfaction, but also had negative effect on negative emotion and job insecurity.3. Job insecurity acts mediation role in relationships between self-perceived employability and SWB. Job insecurity is negatively related to positive emotion and life satisfaction, while is positively related to negative emotion. Job insecurity partially mediates the relationships between self-perceived employability and positive emotion, between perceived employability and negative emotion, between self-perceived employability and life satisfaction. In others words, self-perceived employability not only had direct impacts on SWB, but also had indirect effect on SWB through the mediating effect of job insecurity. But the direct effects are much larger than the mediating effect of job insecurity.
