摘要：AbstractOver the past 15 years managing employees’ emotions is seen as one of the main way in order to be successful on global environment. While positive emotions have gained particular momentum through positive organizational behavior and positive organizational scholarship negative emotions in the workplace have been neglected. This study presents envy that is one of the rampant negative emotions in the workplace (Tai et.al.,2012). The study also outlines how envy affects job engagement and turnover intention. By studying 111 white-collar employees, and using regression analyses, we found that (1) feelings of envy influences emotional engagement, (2) feelings of envy affects propensity to leave and (3) emotional engagement impacts intention to leave. The study contributes to understanding the role of negative emotions on employees. The empirical findings of this research will lead practitioners and scholars with theoretical and managerial implications.
