Abstract The current study investigates the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between job insecurity (JIS) and nonattendance and non-green behaviors. Data were gathered from hotel employees using one-week time lag between the study waves and their direct supervisors in Guangzhou in China. Structural equation modeling as well as bias-corrected bootstrapping method supported the hypothesized relationships. Specifically, JIS is a threat of future job loss eroding work engagement but aggravating absenteeism, intention to be late for work (ILFW), intention to leave work early (ILWE), and non-green behaviors. Work engagement mitigates these nonattendance behaviors and intentions and alleviates non-green behaviors. In addition, work engagement partly mediates the impact of JIS on non-green behaviors, absenteeism, ILFW, and ILWE. Our study proposes several areas for future research about JIS and its potential consequences.
