Shirom-Melamed Burnout & Vigor Scales, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), and Employee Jealousy Scale developed by Vecchio were used to quantify the concepts in question.Results: The relationship between employee jealousy, job satisfaction, burnout and vigor was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that employee jealousy has a directly positive effect on burnout Moreover, it was found that burnout has a negative effect on vigor and job satisfaction, while vigor has a positive effect on job satisfaction.Conclusion: Employee jealousy, as a negative workplace emotion, indirectly affects variables such as job satisfaction and vigor, while directly affecting the burnout variable. However, for the first time in this study, burnout is seen to play a mediating role in employee jealousy. Employee jealousy must be taken into consideration by managers in the work-place as a factor affecting performance, attaching the same level of importance as to variables such as burnout, vigor, etc.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWork engagementOccupational stressEnvyPsychologyEmployee jealousyJob satisfactionBurnoutVigorSociologyArticle00047380740000331435910.26650/JECS429088
