This paper investigates how labor disputes have been differentially affected by the interplay of organizational characteristics, institutional structure, work conditions, as well as the characteristics of labor force by country origin of East Asian-owned firms and location of industry in China. It also analyzes how different managerial styles such as personal (arbitrarily regulatory), authoritarian and institutionalized paternalism affect workers' satisfaction with labor relations and the frequency of labor disputes at each country origin of those firms. The survey research was undertaken at thirty-nine factories in coastal cities from 2000 to 2001 with 39 managers and 291 workers as respondents
