Abstract Based on the upper echelons theory,an interrelationship model of“Behavioral Integration-Strategic Decision Making-Project Performance”concerning the top management team(TMT)is established in the management situation of Chinese megaprojects.Findings from survey data of 204 top managers show that all of the three sub-dimensions of behavioral integration are positively related to project performance.The two sub-dimensions of strategic decision making are also positively related to project performance.It should be noted that the interrelationships between behavioral integration and strategic decision making of TMT are specific to megaprojects.That is,strategic decision making does not behave as a partial mediator between collaborative behavior and project performance,rather project performance is directly influenced by collaborative behavior;also,information exchange and joint decision making would slow down decision speed rather than improve it,which violates the initial hypothesis
