Abstract Based on the integrated perspective of conservation of resource theory and self-regulation theory, this paper demonstrates the effect and mechanism of job insecurity on proactive person-environment fit behavior through a two-stage questionnaire of 656 employees. The results show that job insecurity positively affects three types of proactive person-environment fit behavior (proactive feedback seeking, job change negotiation and career initiative). In this process, using different self-concept reference values in self-regulation theory, it is proved that impression management motivation and future work self-salience mediate the relationship between job insecurity and three types of proactive person-environment fit behaviors, and the two mediating paths are strengthened to different degrees under the prevention regulatory focus and the promotion regulatory focus of individuals.
