Abstract
Employing an intrapersonal, self-evaluative perspective, we examined the relationship between individuals’ envy and well-being, as well as the moderating roles of self-esteem (SE) and gender during this process. Based on data collected from three independent samples, we have found that envy is detrimental to individuals’ well-being. While high SE enables men workers to maintain a higher level of well-being whenever envy arises, low SE protects women workers from falling into the vicious envying “whirlpool”. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
