Abstract The roles of both group-level leadermember exchange quality (GLMX) and differentiation (DLMX) are investigated for their effects on team member’s aggregated affective commitment to the organization and team performance in a sample of 63 manufacturing teams from 3 organizations. Results indicate that after controlling for transformational leadership behavior, GLMX is still shown to predict team member’s affective organizational commitment and team performance. The moderating role of DLMX is also supported that GLMX is more positively related to team member’s commitment and team performance for teams lower, rather than higher in DLMX. The study in general enhances analytical level of leadermember exchange research and implies that leader’s differentiated treatment toward team members hinders the positive effect of GLMX on team process and outcome.
