Abstract

Extant research shows that a variety of job stressors have a detrimental impact on the employee sleep quality. However, it is not yet known about the influence of job insecurity on employee sleep quality. Therefore, this study aimed to address this gap in the literature. Based on conservation of resources theory, we investigated the mediating role of affective rumination and the moderating role of resource management ability. Data analysis of 218 valid questionnaires in China demonstrated that affective rumination mediated the negative relationship between job insecurity and sleep quality. We further found that high levels of resource management ability buffer the positive effect of job insecurity on affective rumination. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and practical implications, and make suggestions for the direction of future study.
