Abstract: In this research we investigate possible differential effects of subordinate positive trait affect and negative trait affect upon four dimensions of supervisor-rated leader member exchange: affect, loyalty, contribution, and professional respect. In addition, self-monitoring is tested for its potential moderating effect upon these relationships. Data was collected from 267 subordinate/supervisor dyads in six different organizations. Results revealed that subordinates’ negative trait affect is negatively related to the supervisor-rated dimensions of affect, loyalty, and respect, while subordinate positive affect is positively related to the dimensions of contribution and professional respect. Conversely, the hypothesized moderating effect of self-monitoring upon the relationships received no support, despite existing research to the contrary. We conclude with a discussion of the implications for theory, practice, and future research.
