基于职场背景下的妒忌研究综述

A Review of Workplace-Based Envy Research

摘要: 尽管妒忌作为人类普遍存在的社会情绪，其心理学机制已得到较充分探讨，但针对职场情境的系统研究仍处于起步阶段。随着组织竞争的加剧，职场妒忌现象愈发普遍，这种情绪不仅影响个体的心理健康和工作表现，还可能对组织内部的人际关系和绩效产生深远影响。然而，现有文献在“妒忌如何影响工作绩效”等核心问题上仍存在分歧，这些都对深入探究妒忌的内在机制提出了迫切的要求。文章从工作场所中的妒忌这一视角出发，从妒忌的界定、产生的原因、后果等方面明确不同妒忌研究之间的分歧，旨在更全面地理解职场妒忌的复杂机制及其对个人和组织的影响。

Abstract: Although envy, as a universal social emotion, has been extensively explored in terms of its psychological mechanisms, systematic research on its manifestation in workplace contexts remains nascent. With the intensification of organizational competition, workplace envy has become increasingly prevalent. This emotion not only impacts individuals’ mental health and job performance but also exerts profound effects on interpersonal relationships and organizational outcomes. However, existing literature continues to exhibit conflicting findings on core issues such as “how envy influences work performance,” highlighting an urgent need to clarify its intrinsic mechanisms. Adopting the lens of workplace envy, this paper synthesizes divergent perspectives across three dimensions—conceptual definitions, antecedents, and consequences—to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex dynamics of envy in organizational settings and its dual impact on individuals and organizations.
