This study aims to explore the role of informal leader–member interactions in managing counterproductive work behavior (CWB) in a non-Western context. We propose that under the Chinese background,guanxiwith supervisor increases employees’ job satisfaction, which further reduces their CWB. Partial least square structural equation modeling with a sample of 272 Chinese employees confirms this mediating effect of job satisfaction. However, we also find that job satisfaction passes the effect ofguanxiwith supervisor on to CWB targeting people, but not to CWB targeting the organization. Implications for research on CWB andguanxiwith supervisor are discussed.
