Does Being Envied by Coworkers Weaken Supervisor Support for Innovative Work Behavior?

Abstract

It can be considered as an important approach to be open to innovations for organizations that want to adapt to the process with difficult competition conditions in the rapidly developing world. Two of the most important factors of social support in the workplace are supervisors and coworkers. This study focuses on whether the support given by the supervisor has the effect of increasing the innovative behaviors of the individual and whether the individual’s perception of being envied by his coworkers on this predicted effect has a moderation role. For this purpose, a sample from various sectors was examined through an online questionnaire and by convenience sampling. The obtained data were analyzed by PROCESS macro and Pearson product-moment correlation. The results indicate that the perception of envy by coworkers beside supervisor support affected this process. Organizations can make plans to improve this social support process in order to increase their workers’ innovative behavior.
