Although the concept of LMX has been introduced for more than 40 years, many team-level researches utilizing it have not been conducted. Also, despite the dyadic relationship between LMX and its subordinates, researches about the effect of LMX on the leader are insufficient. This study explored this problem by focusing on the different effects of team level LMX, LMX quality and LMX differentiation. Generally, since LMX quality affects attitudes and behaviors of members, this study explains the effect on self-efficacy at the individual level. Team level LMX and LMX differentiation, on the other hand, are team-level variables that will affect team-efficacy rather than an individual self-efficacy. Further, these team-level LMX variables will affect not only the positive factors, but also certain negative factors. A high Team level LMX means the leader treats and cares about the members individually. In this case, the leader will be under pressure. This study explains the different effects of LMX on the level of analysis and verifies the effects of LMX on the leader's time stress as well as its advantages. Through this process, this paper is meaningful to study the effectiveness of LMX at various levels and to suggest new perspectives.
