Abstract
This study investigates the complex relationships between social comparisons, benign and malicious envy, and job performance using the CSS and IWPS scales combined to represent positive aspect of job performance, and the CWP scale to delve into the negative aspects of job performance in modern work settings. Benign envy has been recognized as a motivator for improved performance, motivated by a desire to observe successful peers, whereas malicious envy is associated with poor performance and unproductive behaviours. These psychological dynamics are becoming increasingly important in today's growing professional arena, which is exacerbated by gig and remote work dynamics. Our work emphasizes the importance of organizational tactics to mitigate the negative effects of malicious envy while utilizing the positive motivational drive of benign envy, aiming for an optimized performance environment. Keywords: social comparisons, benign envy, malicious envy, job performance, workplace dynamics.
