This is unfortunately very common in the corporate world, especially once an organisation grows to a certain size. It's the nature of animals to be territorial and competitive so there is a primal force behind this. But humans are intelligent and build societies. Good societies understand game theory and incorporate cooperation to maximise benefits for everyone in the long run.
I feel this doesn't happen well enough within corporate societies which tend to be much more vicious and hostile in their own realm compared to the outside world. There is a lot of content out there on org building, leadership and what not but I've not come across anything which addresses this fundamental issue. What kind of structures do you need to build to incentivise high degrees of cooperation and discourage unhealthy competition? What would the evolution in terms of next generation of org structures look like?
