The competitive psychological environment that arises within an organization is widely recognized as a crucial factor impacting employee performance and, indirectly, overall business productivity. Nonetheless, mishandling this environment can result in unforeseen challenges. Thus, a moderated mediation model was employed in this study to ascertain the adverse effects of competitive psychological climate and how to mitigate said effects. Data were collected via a survey of 523 employees of four- and five-star accommodation establishments in Alanya and Manavgat using convenience sampling. This study revealed that a competitive work environment leads to increased workplace envy, which adversely affects interpersonal citizenship behavior. Additionally, it was discovered that workplace envy mediates the effects of competitive climate on interpersonal citizenship behavior. The negative impact of competitive psychological climate on workplace envy and interpersonal citizenship behavior is mitigated by organizational justice. This study’s results offer significant contributions to both theoretical and practical understandings of the potential effects of competitive psychological climate and how to handle them.

Makedonya Sorunu, uzun yıllardır Balkan coğrafyasında kendine yer edinen ve taraflarını Makedonya ile komşu ülkelerin oluşturduğu bir meseledir. Bugüne kadar uluslararası birtakım girişimlerin de olmasına rağmen meselenin çözümüne yönelik kesin sonuç alınabilen bir gelişme yaşanmamıştır. Sorunun çözümü için geliştirilen Ohrid süreci ya da Makedonya halkının katıldığı isim referandumu gibi birtakım eylemler olsa da söz konusu girişimlerin ne kadar etkili ya da kalıcı olacağı konusunda şüpheler bulunmaktadır. Uluslararası örgütlere üyelik ve tanınma engeli gibi sıkıntılar yaşayan Makedonya ise süreçten en olumsuz etkilenen taraf konumundadır. Makedonya Sorununun temelini oluşturan en önemli faktörlerin kimlik ve normatif değerler olduğu varsayıldığında, mesele uluslararası ilişkiler teorilerinden konstrüktivizmin kapsamında değerlendirilebilir. Bu kapsamda, sorun konstrüktivizm bağlamında ele alınarak bir analiz çerçevesi oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır.
