You just received the promotion1 you have worked so hard for, but you overhear a co-worker say that you got it because the boss only gives the easy projects to you while the hard ones are dumped on everyone else. Some of your envious2 co-workers come to congratulate you with the aim of being seen with you for reputational benefits, but some others may be less kind in their response. While these overt3 signs of envy can often be received badly, University of Cincinnati Lindner College of Business research indicates that how that envy is perceived and attributed by the envied person makes all the difference in how it is handled.
 
"Envy is common in the workplace and generally occurs when a co-worker receives valuable accolades4 such as promotions5, awards, benefits, high-profile assignments, expense accounts and even better office chairs," says Harshad Puranik, third-year UC doctoral student in the College of Business. "Any situation which leads individuals to make social comparisons that highlight differences in how they are treated can potentially lead to envy."
 
In their theoretical paper titled, "They Want What I've Got: The Role of Self-Esteem and Attribution in Determining Responses to Coworker Envy," presented at the 76th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management in August in Anaheim, California, Puranik, along with his mentors6, Heather Vough and Joel Koopman, both assistant professors of business at UC, and fellow collaborator7 Daniel Gamache from University of Georgia theorize about how envied employees are likely to respond to the behaviors of their envious coworkers.
 
"While the research to date focuses primarily on the person who is envious, we, in contrast, suggest that envy occurs in an interpersonal context and it is also important to understand how the recipient8 responds to being envied," says Vough. "Our theory paper primarily focuses on when and why envied employees are likely to realize that they are being envied."
 
"What we learn from using self-regulation theory is that self-esteem is important," says Puranik. "The trait self-esteem of the envied employee is an important component9 that will determine whether they are able to recognize the behaviors of their co-workers as being caused by envy or not and this will subsequently determine their behavioral response."
