Understanding Workplace Envy Through Narrative Fiction
通过分析理查德·拉索小说《直人》中的三个片段,探讨职场嫉妒如何在社会互动中被建构,并揭示其作为催化情感和维持道德文化秩序的作用。
In this article, we explore the social construction of workplace envy through an analysis of its portrayal in a fictional narrative. Based on our examination of three excerpts from Richard Russo's novel Straight Man, we argue that envy is socially constructed in prominent and revealing episodes within broader organizational narratives. We further show that envy both serves as a catalytic emotion that engenders action and sensemaking, and at the same time, acts as a mechanism that reproduces the moral and cultural order within which it occurs.
