Envy As Pain: Rethinking the Nature of Envy and Its Implications for Employees and Organizations
将嫉妒重新定义为他人好运带来的痛苦,而非传统的敌意,并探讨这种痛苦如何因个人特质和组织支持而影响员工的人际行为和工作绩效。
Although envy has been characterized by resentment, hostility, and ill will, researchers have begun to investigate envy's benign manifestations. We contend that the substance of envy has been confounded with its consequences. We conceptualize envy as pain at another's good fortune. This reconceptualization allows envy to result in both positive and negative consequences. We then examine how envy affects interpersonal behaviors and job performance, contingent on core self-evaluation, referent cognitions, and perceived organizational support.
