In the quantitative stage, the content and face validity of the questionnaire were confirmed by the professors and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha at 0.89. To analyze the data in the qualitative part, the content analysis method was used in MAXQDA 2018 software and in the quantitative part; structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis in Smart PLS2 software were used.

In the results section of the criteria, the values obtained for endogenous structures confirmed the suitability of the structural model.
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, university management can ensure the success of the organization under its management by identifying the factors affecting organizational envy and as a result by reducing and modifying envy in the workplace and creating a favorable organizational atmosphere with its spiritual leadership. Managers need to step up their efforts to create situations in which the organizational envy is controlled and try to prevent it from escalating into disruptive group work
