In the present study, I examine how group-level positive affect (GPA) may interact with a leader’s emotional intelligence (EI) to generate important group outcomes, such as group-level perception of affective fit and group-level organizational citizenship behavior (GOCB). A moderated mediation model was tested by using the data of 293 employees nested in 66 work groups. Research findings show that the indirect effect of GPA on GOCB through the group-level perception of affective fit is stronger when leader EI is low than when leader EI is high. These results highlight the substituting role of leader EI in the relationship between GPA and affective fit perception. The current analysis reveals potential complementary functions of GPA and leader EI in explaining subsequent group processes and performance.
