This study tested the indirect effect of positive leader’s mood on team performancethrough its influence on team mood and team potency. An important factor for the emergenceof a shared mood in teams is the leader’s spreading of his/her mood to his/her team members(eg George, 1995, 2000; Sy, Côté & Saavedra, 2005). Research on collective mood has alsoshown a significant relationship between the extent to which the shared emotional experiencesare manifested and team performance (George, 1995; Totterdell, 1999, 2000). The impact ofpositive shared mood on team potency may explain this relationship. However, to date, no studyhas empirically tested this hypothesis.Design/MethodologyThe sample consisted of 125 work teams from Spanish banking organizations.
