In the present study, I examine how an individual’s trait positive affect (TPA) may interact with those of group members to generate important individual outcomes, such as autonomy and task cohesion. The proposed multilevel moderated mediation framework was tested using data collected from 293 employees in 66 workgroups. Results demonstrated that the indirect effect of TPA on task cohesion through autonomy is stronger when individual affective dissimilarity is low and group affective diversity is high. The analysis also confirmed the role of autonomy as the mediating mechanism between TPA and task cohesion.
