I behave in such a way to get the most of him by being very modest and passion,  I try to avoid any judgement of his behaviour.

by , Administrative Supervisor , Wadi Jana Company

This colleague is treated with a formalized system and avoids friction as much as possible ,and focus on the performance of your work tasks and the completion of your work and lack of focus in your colleague or other so as not to distract your concentration.

How can I deal with a coworker who's overly competitive and jealous? Negative behaviors are not necessary. Professionalism is the only one that expresses the complete success of such non-professional behaviors. It undermines your professional and original career. You reduce your professional performance and can even scare other people's lives and prevent professional alternatives that can be the best solution for others.

I would guide him/her to put all the powers and these actions in work.  He should be competitive but not jealous of others because you need to work to prove yourself.

 

Being in the status of not liking others will create a bad communication and working environment to others and will affect negatively the atmosphere of work.

Honestly, dealing with these types of coworkers is so frustrating and for a long time made me super unhappy.

Then, I figured it out!

While you can’t change a hyper competitive coworker, you can change your perspectiveand your actions to better handle the situation.

Sit and talk to the concerned person tactfully making it clear on the fact that being competitive is great; jealously loops itself on you. There is nothing personal on the floor, do your job prfessionally, create scope for performance so it would reflect your competencies.
