Abstract
Objective. Based on emotional contagion theory, this paper analyzes the relationship between the similarity of demographic characteristics (gender, type of contract, and company tenure) and the similarity in positive effects within working teams. Method. The sample consisted of 691 employees nested within 110 teams in 21 Spanish companies. Results. Regression analyses showed that similarity in type of contract and number of years of employment in the company, were significantly and positively associated with similarity in terms of positive effect in work teams. Conclusion. Thus, team members sharing demographic characteristics are more similar in terms of positive affect.
