Using a representative sample 467 China, this creates transparency on various theoretically-derived relationships between managerial discretion, firm size, type, industry technology intensity, performance. In particular, it reveals how plant managers respond to different degrees under differing circumstances, decomposing total impact into direct effects, mediating moderating control effects.
