Jealousy often stems from insecurity or fear of losing something precious. In the workplace, an employee might feel jealous for various reasons, such as competing for important projects, limited budget or scarce resources; losing a promotion to someone more qualified; or working with an employee who has certain qualities that the jealous person lacks. Because jealousy stems from negative feelings, it's not without consequences, which might include reduced performance, withdrawal, job dissatisfaction and stress.

Although jealousy is generally a disruptive emotion, but jealousy is OK sometimes. For example, your coworker’s success can prompt you to work even harder to realize your full potential. Instead of becoming mired in jealousy, you look at the successful person as a role model who motivates you to improve. If you were unfairly passed over for a promotion, it can cause you to consider your job-satisfaction level, and if applicable, do something about it. By maintaining a high level of awareness, you can detect when an employee is starting to show signs of jealousy and possibly defuse it. Management can help to eliminate or reduce jealousy by promoting open communication in the workplace.
