What is "Professional Jealousy" ?
Is Professional Jealousy a new term or it is continous with human nature?
Resentment against a rival or competitor. Jealousy may be a significant barrier to functional interpersonal relationships within any group.
Nowadays it is very common gesture at the work place or in an intelligent center. The people who are less qualify, short temper, egoist, and insecure than other are suffering from this disease. Jealousy is nothing but a jealous attitude or character. Bitter or painful desire for another’s reward and success.
Is ‘Jealousy’ natural with human being? Why it becomes a part of working atmosphere? Is it a means of exhausting the ‘bitterness’ and frustration of home? Why people don’t want trust, understanding, admiration and pride at work place?
J. K. Lavater rightly said “The jealous are possessed by a mad devil and a dull spirit at the same time."
Please share your experience, becouse I have had been bitter experiences !!!

Yes Saini, Professional Jealousy is in the human nature. But, there are many occasion when people comes out of that. What is important is that if people do accept that change is the only constant in this world, and lost is the part of human life and every people leave only in his/her own time in history and new generations will not follow all the rules and regulation set up by the old, then these type of attitude will not come.

dear saini u are right , Jealousy is state of mind of person , every body aspires recognition for their work / contribution but weak minded people feel insecure so this jealousy appears.Secondly some may think their work needs to be recognised with them only where majority academic community do , lack of openness acceptence of others work may resolve this problem.As u see old water replaces by new water , new professional certainly replace the old guards. Every body should welcome young talent to take up and do better so this evil will erode slowly. So let uswelcome all professionlas with open hands to drive this evil
