For this purpose, using the available sampling method, 127 male and female students of Islamic Azad University of Khuzestan branches and employees working in Ahvaz hospitals were selected, and using Valizadeh's envy questionnaire (for university students) and Wang's organizational envy questionnaire (for hospitals employees), semi-structured interview and data collected from reliable sources of psychology were subjected to psychoanalysis and analysis.

Brain regions involved in envy including Striatum (Limbic system), anterior Cingulate Gyrus and Cortical area of the Frontal Lobe were investigated.
Conclusion: The results showed that envy has both internal factors, such as motivation, and external factors, such as university and organization policies, family and society, and can be formed at birth and childhood in the family.
