The purpose of this study is to explain the relationship between irrational beliefs and aggression. The research is descriptive-correlational in terms of purpose, application and research method. Because the number of employees was 44, sampling was done by counting method. The data collection tool is questionnaire. For irrational beliefs, Jones (1968) questionnaire with 100 items was used and for aggression, Bass and Perry questionnaire (1992) with 29 items. Data analysis showed regression predicts employee aggression with respect to the components of irrational beliefs (expectation of approval from others, excessive expectation of self, tendency to blame, reaction to failure, emotional irresponsibility, high anxiety associated with anxiety, Avoidance of problems, dependence on others, helplessness to change, perfectionism) is not significant. The irrational beliefs variable in the field of high anxiety combined with the standard beta coefficient of 0.252 can positively and significantly predict employee aggression. Based on the research findings, no positive and significant relationship was between the dimensions of irrational beliefs and aggression, and the variable of irrational beliefs in the field of high anxiety and anxiety can positively and significantly predict employee aggression. According to the statistical findings, it is concluded that irrational beliefs do not necessarily lead to aggression.
