Abstract: | Extensive studies of the organizational slack–performance relationship offer mixed findings in developed economies while little
research attends to transition economies. Replicating and extending earlier work by Tan and Peng (2003), this study examines the relationship between organizational slack and firm performance in China and focuses on the moderating
effects of firm ownership and competitive intensity. Empirical findings based on longitudinal data from 60,945 firms during
1998–2002 suggest that the impact of organizational slack on performance is stronger for private enterprises than for SOEs
and foreign-invested enterprises. Furthermore, industry competitive intensity positively moderates the effect of organizational
slack on performance. In a three-way interaction effect, the moderating effect of competitive intensity on the organizational
slack–performance relationship is weaker in SOEs than in private enterprises and foreign invested enterprises. |
