Highlights

As explained by Weiss and Cropanzano (1996), according to the Affective Events Theory, the emotional reactions of workers have a direct impact on the employees work performance and the work related emotions directly influence on the workers level of satisfaction
Emotions play a crucial role in shaping the employees’ work performance as they are transferring quickly among individuals, which is known as emotional contagion
Summary
As revealed by Domagalski (1999), the word ‘contagion’ has derived from a Latin word ‘contagio’ that means ‘from touch’ (as cited in Vijayalakshmi & Bhattacharyya, 2011). Felps et al, (2009) stated that most of the times the individuals in the same network are being affected directly by the similar thoughts, attitudes and behaviors of others (as cited in Im, Park & Storey, 2013). This process of spreading or transferring the information, emotions, attitudes and behaviors among the individuals is commonly known as contagion (Ashkanasy & Humphrey, 2011; Barsade, 2012; Monge & Contractor, 2003)
