Specifically, we propose that the relationships between supervisor–subordinate guanxi and participatory management, turnover intentions, and organizational commitment are mediated by job satisfaction. Based on the data collected from a sample of 196 employees of three local manufacturing firms in Zhejiang Province, China, we found that job satisfaction fully mediated the effects of supervisor–subordinate guanxi on participatory management and intentions to leave, but partially mediated the relationship between supervisor–subordinate guanxi and organizational commitment. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.enSupervisor–Subordinate GuanxiJob SatisfactionParticipatory ManagementTurnover IntentionsOrganizational CommitmentChinaPeer Reviewed Journal Article10.1007/s10551-008-9830-0
