The associations in Macau are like a chain that binds Macau people together for survival, meaning they can advance and retreat together and live in harmony. Thus, as an indispensable and important part of the operations of Macau society, they have become one of the major characteristics of Macau society. Therefore, this study mainly aims to discuss the influence of Guanxi involvement on Guanxi network with Guanxi as the mediator and conflict and Machiavellianism as the moderators. Good Guanxi makes beneficial benefits, so this study would like to find the most important factor when building Guanxi.
