We examined the interaction of the level of Chinese employees' traditionality (CT) and the quality of leader-member exchange (LMX) in their workplaces and how both CT and LMX influence the knowledge-sharing (KS) behaviors of these employees. We distributed surveys to employees working
for firms located in the Yangzi Delta area of Mainland China and performed a hierarchical regression analysis of responses from 304 individuals. Our results indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between LMX and KS and, furthermore, that the relationship between LMX and
KS was moderated by the level of employees' Chinese traditionality.
