Abstract

Based on a HeXie Management perspective, theoretical hypotheses are advanced which argue that for harmony configuration, there are significantly many simultaneous changes among the variables of environment(E), organization(O), leadership (L) and strategy(S). Tested by the data from 149 Chinese firms, the academic research supports the hypotheses. Samples comprised of successful firms show a higher percentage of significant correlations among changes in EOLS variables than do samples comprised of unsuccessful firms. Firms may be required to align their EOLS in a manner that ensures the congruence among the elements. And the results reinforce the need to the further study of the relationship between the congruence of HeXie and performance in organizations.
