Özet:

In this study, the predispositions of counterproductive work behaviors (CPWBs) in the workplace and contextual performance of employees were examined in terms of individual psychosocial variables. As a result of the literature research and theoretical background evaluations, it can be seen that there may be a sense of envy perceived in the workplace as a psychosocial structure among the variables that can explain the CPWBs and contextual performancs. On the other hand, it is assumed that the effect of envy perception in the workplace on CPWBs and contextual performance may vary according to some situational factors and it can be assumed that degree of employees' self-control may have a contingent (moderating) role. The research was carried out on the individuals working in health, education, higher education (academic), sales-marketing and bank-finance institutions in Istanbul. Exploratory factor analyses were performed on the data obtained (N = 330) and multiple regression analyses were performed to test hypotheses. According to the findings, the sense of envy (malicious and benign) at the workplace felt by the employees has a significant effect on the counterproductive work behaviors and contextual performance in the workplace. In addition, it was observed that the degree of self-control in the workplace had a moderating role on the influence of individuals’ malicious feeling of envy on CPWBs. As such, it was seen that as the degree of self-control of employees increases, the influence of the sense of malicious envy on CPWBs decreases
