Abstract This study examines the possibility of a curvilinear relation between job insecurity and voice behavior and whether this curvilinear relation is moderated by employees’ selfefficacy. Data were obtained from 286 employees and their immediate supervisors from twelve enterprises. Results show that an inverted Ushaped relation between job insecurity and voice behavior is found, and the relation is moderated by selfefficacy. For employees who scored high on selfefficacy, the curvilinear relation is weaker and the turning point appeared on the condition of higher job insecurity. The theoretical contributions and empirical implications of this study are discussed finally.
