Abstract
With the development of the knowledge economy, flexible employment has become a relatively large employment method in the contemporary labor market. With the development of this employment method, the stable job security of employees has gradually been broken and rebuilt. This article collects the existing research on job insecurity in the academic community, summarizes the definitions from the two directions of job security and insecurity, explores the pre-dependent variables of job insecurity from the three directions of individual, social context, and organization, and analyzes the outcome variables of job insecurity from the two levels of individual and organization. It is found that job insecurity has more impact on the organizational level, and has an impact on turnover intention, organizational commitment, Job Satisfaction, organizational trust, organizational loyalty, organizational support, innovative self-efficacy, and organizational citizenship behavior. Finally, it also looks forward to the research on job insecurity in different cultural scenarios in the future and the mechanism of job insecurity.
