A model of influence tactics with two dimensions, contingent control and gentle persuasion, was tested with data from 372 Chinese managers. Status, target’s behaviour and influencer’s personality were measured; the Big Five personality dimensions and personality facets drawn from Chinese culture measured the latter. Personality was associated with tactics choice, with the Chinese facets explaining additional variance after effects of the Big Five were partialed out.
