ÇALIŞANLARDAKİ STATÜ ENDİŞESİ VE İŞBİRLİĞİNE DAYALI AMAÇ YAPILARININ İŞYERİ KISKANÇLIĞI ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİNE İLİŞKİN KURAMSAL BİR ÇALIŞMA

Kıskançlık, bir kişinin, başka bir kişide, kendisinden daha üstün özelliklerin var olduğunu fark etmesi sonucunda, bu avantajlı durumu ele geçirme isteğini içinde barındıran acı verici bir duygu olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu olgunun kendi içinde hem duygusal, hem de bilişsel bir değerlendirme sürecini barındırdığı düşünüldüğünde, çalışma ortamında kişilerin yapmış oldukları sosyal karşılaştırmaların ve statüleriyle ilgili sahip oldukları endişelerin, çalışma arkadaşlarına karşı hissettikleri yıkıcı duygulara zemin oluşturması beklenmektedir. Özellikle yerel yazında işyerinde yaşanan kıskançlıkla ilgili az sayıda çalışmaların yer alması ve bu kavramın ilgili öncellerle (statü endişesi ve işbirlikçi amaç yapıları) ilişkisinin hem ulusal hem de uluslararası yazında daha önce irdelenmemiş olduğu düşünüldüğünde, bu çalışmada önerilen modelin, çalışanların içinde barındırdıkları kıskançlık duygusunun açığa çıkmasını kolaylaştırıcı dinamiklerin anlaşılması ve çağdaş yönetim uygulamalarına ışık tutması açısından yazına katkı sağlayacağına inanılmaktadır.

A THEORETICAL STUDY ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF STATUS ANXIETY AND COOPERATIVE GOAL STRUCTURES ON WORKPLACE ENVY

Envy is defined as a painful feeling when someone realizes another’s superior qualities & achievements and desires to seize this advantageous position.It is also expected that the fact of envy that inholds both an affective  and a cognitive evaluation process about ssocial comparisons and status anxiety forms a basis for the destructive feelings towards their colleagues.There is no empirical study both in national and international literature regarding the antecedents of workplace envy related with these concepts (status anxiety and cooperative goal structures) so the proposed model of the study is expected to contribute  literature in terms of understanding the triggering factors  of workplace envy and provide  new insights into the contemporary management practices.
