Zhongmin Wang

Abstract
This study examined the relationships of life satisfaction with learning orientation and Chinese guanxi. In addition, the moderating effect of guanxi on the relationship between learning orientation and life satisfaction was also examined. Two hundred and eighty usable survey responses from full time employees of People’s Republic China were used to test the proposed relationships. Results based on hierarchical regression analyses showed that both learning orientation and guanxi positively impacted life satisfaction. However, guanxi did not moderate the association between learning orientation and life satisfaction. The significance and limitations of the results are discussed.
