Although competition in the business world seems to be a desirable and positive situation, it can be overlooked that it can lead individuals within the organization to some undesirable behaviors. With this in mind, this study aims to reveal the effect of intra-organizational competition on organizational jealousy and to determine the role of self-esteem in the relationship between these two variables. Quantitative research method was used to test the hypotheses created for this purpose. In this context, a survey was conducted with civil aviation employees. The data obtained were tested according to the structural equation modeling approach. According to the findings of the study, it has been observed that intra-organizational competition increases the envy of others and the thinking that they are envious, and decreases the self-esteem. It has been concluded that self-esteem reduces envy and also mediates the relationship between competition and jealousy within the organization. The research is an original study in that it focuses on the negative side of competition, and handles the variables of competition, and self-esteem together.
