{"product_id":"9780190228071","title":"Envy at Work and in Organizations","description":"Competition for resources, recognition, and favorable outcomes are all facts of life in professional settings. When one falls short in comparison to colleagues or subordinates, feelings of envy may arise. Fueled by inferiority, hostility and resentment, envy is both ubiquitous and painful. Will employees \"level up\" with their envied counterpart through self-improvement behaviors? Or will they \"level down\" through sabotage and undermine their peers and subordinates in the process?  \u003cem\u003eEnvy at Work and in Organizations\u003c\/em\u003e aims to determine the direction workplace envy takes. Contributors are drawn from many countries and from an extraordinary range of disciplines to share their insight: experimental social psychologists offer insights from lab studies, psychoanalytical scholars emphasize unconscious processes, organizational psychologists describe groundbreaking research from disparate work settings, and cross-cultural psychologists reveal the variety of ways that envy can emerge as a function of cultures as wide-ranging as the Japanese school system to the fascinating structure of the Israeli kibbutzim. Work and insight from behavioral economists and organizational consultants is also included.  \u003cem\u003eEnvy at Work and in Organizations\u003c\/em\u003e is a valuable, distinctive resource for both scholars and practitioners looking to grasp the nature of envy. Edited by Richard H. Smith, Ugo Merlone, and Michelle K. Duffy, this volume will help readers understand the factors that help individuals and organizations overcome envy and transform it into something positive to promote workplace well-being.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072554025200,"sku":"9780190228071","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780190228071_p0.jpg?v=1763658417","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780190228071","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
