摘　　要：Existing research points out that social relations are crucial in governing employment relations and eliciting commitment but fails to clarify how they work in different contexts.Using an employer-employee nested dataset and interview records in the Yangtze Delta,this study addresses the effect of employer-employee native-place ties on employees’organizational commitment and how the effect is moderated by a firm’s internal labor market.This study finds that native-place ties can enhance employees’organizational commitment,especially when the ties are stronger and constructed at a higher level.The firm’s internal labor market functions as an effective moderating variable:when the internal labor market becomes more open and provides more upward opportunity for its employees,native-place ties become less effective in promoting organizational commitment.
