Journal Article
A Better Way to Compare Yourself to Colleagues
2025
Overview
[...]the workplace is no exception to this pattern, and emerging research shows that these comparisons (even if they appear to be minor) can have real consequences for employees. Feeling stuck in an inferior situation is more likely to trigger feelings of envy, for example. [...]if you cannot change or improve on the dimension, then having the information (and subsequently making a comparison) is more likely to be damaging and should be avoided whenever possible. 2. [...]it seems that almost nothing is off-limits when it comes to comparing ourselves with our colleagues.
