Abstract Based on the perspective of the integration of social network theory and Top Management Team (TMT) theory, this study has constructed an effect model of tie strength and team reflexivity on the strategic decision-making performance. Then, the sample data of questionnaire has been empirically analyzed to test the model. The results show that TMT strong ties have positive effects on both decision-making quality and commitment. And weak ties have positive effects on decision-making quality, but negative effects on decision-making commitment. Team reflexivity has positive moderating effects on the relationship between TMT strong ties and decision-making quality, between strong ties and decision-making commitment, and between weak ties and decision-making quality. Meanwhile, team reflexivity has moderating effects on the negative relationship between weak ties and decision-making commitment.
