Abstract Based on the theory of affective events, this study empirically examined the double-edged sword effect of bootleg innovation behavior on workplace interpersonal relationships using 264 sets of employee-colleague matched data analyzed with SPSS and M-plus. The results reveal that: bootleg innovation simultaneously enhances employees’ workplace status while triggering colleague exclusion; colleague admiration plays a mediating role in the process of bootleg innovation affecting workplace status; colleague envy mediates the relationship between bootleg innovation and colleague ostracism; team-member exchange relationship demonstrate negative and positive moderating roles in the effects of bootleg innovation on colleague admiration and envy respectively. Specifically, under high-quality team-member exchange relationship, bootleg innovation exhibits stronger impacts on colleague envy and weaker effects on colleague admiration.
