Abstract
PurposeDrawing on basic psychological needs theory, this paper aims to delineate how an indigenous Chinese concept guanxi HRM would undermine employee well-being in China.Design/methodology/approachThe authors tested this moderated mediation model based on a survey of 321 Chinese employees.FindingsThe results are consistent with the hypotheses except for the moderating effect when employee well-being is operationalised as emotional exhaustion.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by investigating the dark side of guanxi via basic psychological needs theory and acknowledging the multidimensionality of employee well-being in the Chinese workplace.
