“…Some psychological studies show that the final consequence of envy is that there are comparative differences experienced by envious subjects, as a claim of perception of injustice (Bankovsky, 2016). Frye (2016) explains the effect of envy on injustice using a general approach with a literature review of public discourse and philosophical writings: egalitarianism is an expression of envy, which explains that one's perceived envy can affect and trigger responses to the perception of injustice.…”

This study aims at analyzing the influence of workplace envy on turnover intention mediated by negative emotion and perception of injustice in State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs/BUMN) bank employees in West Sulawesi Province. The technique used is proportional sample with the help of the application of SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) and SPSS on the Sobel Test which is operated through the AMOS program. The results revealed that workplace envy has a positive influence on turnover intention, workplace envy has a positive influence on negative emotion, and workplace envy has a positive influence on perception of injustice, negative emotion has a positive influence on turnover intention, perception of injustice has positive influence on turnover intention. Negative emotion mediates the influence of workplace envy on turnover intention and perception of injustice mediates the influence of workplace envy on turnover intention.This study only focuses on the antecedent variables of the turnover intention, namely workplace envy, negative emotion, and perception of injustice, while it is known that there are many factors that can influence turnover intention. Regarding the factors that influence the turnover intention, this study only focuses on the antecedent variables of the turnover intention, namely workplace envy, negative emotion, and perception of injustice, while it is known that there are many other factors that can influence turnover intention. For future research, research related to the variables of workplace envy, negative emotion, perception of injustice, and turnover intention can be carried out more comprehensively and in depth, by adding several other antecedent variables.

“…What is more, this framework can also help us to see how to mobilise the most constructive aspects that, we have seen, characterise this ambivalent emotion. Among the constructive drives of envy, we should mention its capacity to motivate people and groups to redress injustice (Frye 2016), to help place focus on undeserved success (La Caze 2001), and to highlight what has value in a human life (Thomason 2015). Envy may also have functional roles in regulating social hierarchies and facilitating successful competition for limited resources.…”

The Role of Envy in Transitional Justice

Transitional justice has historically emerged from the belief that, when countries or communities have experienced severe internal conflicts and upheavals, one cannot simply “move on”. To prevent the same wrongdoing from occurring again, parties involved need to draw the line between what was accepted in the past and what will be acceptable in the future. This work occurs through a transformation of societal relationships, which primarily aims to reshape belief and value systems and mold emotional responses between involved parties. A nuanced understanding of the emotions at play in intergroup conflicts is thus essential to transitional justice approaches. Our contribution to this understanding is a philosophical study of the potential of such a common but complex emotion as envy to undermine or, in fact, corroborate just intergroup interactions. In the first two sections we introduce the concept of transitional justice as transformation of the relationship dynamics, and explain the role of just interactions between parties involved in transitional justice processes. Then, we review some of the ways in which emotions in general are relevant to transitional justice processes. Finally, we narrow our focus to envy, presenting four examples of intergroup conflicts in which group envy played a central role. We conclude by suggesting that investigating envy and its varieties is epistemically valuable and practically relevant to transitional justice processes.

“…There have been several attempts to provide a corrective to this dominant position (e.g. Bankovsky, 2012Bankovsky, , 2018Frye, 2016;Tomlin, 2008). Each of these is indebted to Rawls' account of envy and particularly his remarks about "excusable envy" (Rawls, 1999: 464-468), though they differ widely in how they interpret and develop this idea.…”

Envy, self-esteem, and distributive justice

Most agree that envy, or at least the malicious kind(s), should not have any role in the moral justification of distributive arrangements. This paper defends a contrary position. It argues that at the very least John Rawls, Axel Honneth and others that care about the social bases of self-esteem have good reasons to care about the levels of envy that different distributive principles reliably generate. The basic argument is that (1) envy involves a particular kind of harm to self-esteem such that excluding envy-avoidance from the more general commitment to protect self-esteem requires a justification. (2) There are no strong reasons for this exclusion. I discuss three objections to the second premise: that envy is irrational, that it is unfair to prevent and compensate for it, and that envy-avoidance is unreasonable due to the vicious or antisocial nature of envy. The response is that envy can be rational with respect to opportunities for attaining social esteem; that it is not unfair to prevent or compensate for envy that is reasonably unavoidable and relatively burdensome; and the kind of envy-avoidance I defend does not appear unreasonable if distinguished from a form of preference-satisfaction.
