Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships among emotional states of self-esteem, empathy and employee jealousy in private sector employees using structural equation modeling. The study participants ranged in age from 28 years to 53 years, approximately 70% were male. The study group consisted of 216 employees. Printed questionnaires were sent to the entire private sector employees of a single fabric and were filled out anonymously. Relevant emotional states addressed in this study are self-esteem, empathy, and employee jealousy. A conceptual model was created in which self-esteem directly affects empathy and employee jealousy, and employee jealousy directly affects empathy. Then it was estimated by structural equation modeling. The results were ?2/df=3.070; RMSEA=0.09; SRMR=0.09. All the results are statistically significant. In particular, this study has shown that the self-esteem of employees is significant effects on the emotional states that can occur at work, such as empathy and employee jealousy. The employee jealousy plays a mediating role for self-esteem.
