Abstract :
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of self-esteem on jealousy and organizational citizenship behaviors of the staffs of general sport and youth departments of western provinces of Iran.Methodology: The research method is descriptive-correlational.

The instruments used in this study were standard questionnaires of Rahmani et al. (2010) anti-citizenship behavior questionnaire, Vecchio organizational jealousy questionnaire (2000) and Gardner self-esteem questionnaire (2000) that their reliability was 0.962, 0.849 and 0.921, respectively. The questionnaires were reviewed by eight experts in management and their ambiguities were somewhat resolved. This demonstrates the acceptable appearance and content validity of the compilation tool. Descriptive and inferential statistics (variance-based structural equation modeling) were used to analyze the data. In addition, the research hypotheses were analyzed at the 0.05 level of error using Smart PLS3 software.Findings: The findings showed that organizational self-esteem had a significant and negative effect on organizational citizenship behavior and organizational jealousy, meaning that with increasing self-esteem, organizational citizenship and organizational jealousy would decrease.Conclusion: Organizations today are looking for new approaches in management, so that they can make the best use of their human and physical resources and increase their work efficiency. The main purpose of this study is to identify the effect of organizational self-esteem on organizational jealousy and anti-organizational citizen behavior.
