  ABSTRACT: In a competitive work environment, envy is a common emotion for employees at all levels of the organization. However, in an organization, when unchecked, envy can hinder effective communication and become disruptive to the organization’s performance. The intent of this systematic review is to identify the antecedents of workplace envy and its influence on communication and information sharing in organizations. Social exchange theory (SET) was selected as the theoretical lens for this research because it provides an explanation of how organizations can leverage the social interactions between employees to increase organizational engagement and productivity. Through a systematic review of several research articles, 13 peer-reviewed studies were synthesized to help answer the research question: How does workplace envy affect team communication and information sharing in organizations? Specifically, the selected articles provided guidance on how to reduce the negative effect of workplace envy on organizational communication and information sharing. Finally, based on the results of the research, three recommendations were presented for organizations to consider.
