Abstract: Abstract Based on the conservation of resources theory, this study conducted an empirical analysis using SPSS 26.0 on a sample of 203 participants. The results indicate that perceived overqualification has a positive impact on territorial behavior. Furthermore, interpersonal trust partially mediates the relationship between perceived overqualification and territorial behavior. This study not only enriches our understanding of the impact mechanism of perceived overqualification on employee territorial behavior but also expands the application scope of the conservation of resources theory. It provides valuable suggestions and insights for effectively reducing the negative consequences of person-job unfit and promoting full employment opportunities for employees.
