During the interaction of the employees in the work environment, some emotional states may arise due to themselves and organizational psychology. These emotional states can start from any employee and spread throughout the organization. This situation, which is described as emotional contagion, affects the work and private lives of employees, and the effect of emotional contagion directs organizational behavior over time. The main purpose of this research is to determine the effect of emotional contagion on positive and negative emotional states in organizations, which are of great importance in terms of managing organizational behavior. To determine the emotional states of the employees, the research is designed according to the cross-sectional scanning design, one of the quantitative research designs. The sample of the study was determined according to the simple random sampling technique, one of the probability sampling techniques. Data were collected with the help of online survey scales. The partial least squares path analysis (PLS-SEM) technique was used to analyze the research model. Analysis findings showed that emotional contagion affected positive mood; shows that it does not affect negative mood.
