With the increasingly dynamic and complex nature of the academic environment, the necessity for
effective communication and collaboration has grown significantly. In this context, the rise of
interdisciplinary studies has further highlighted the need for mutual respect and understanding among
academics working toward shared goals. Accordingly, the concept of academic civility has gained
heightened importance in terms of academic communication, collaboration, and ethical behavior,
playing a crucial role in the development of academic environments. This phenomenon directly
influences communication practices, academic partnerships, and ethical conduct.Although the concept
of academic civility is typically addressed in the literature as a set of respectful, responsible, and
appropriate behaviors that facilitate interpersonal communication, this study examines its various
dimensions. Moreover, it presents a comprehensive analysis of both the positive and negative impacts
of academic civility. The absence of civility can lead to burnout among individuals and hinder
collaborative efforts and shared productivity within institutions.This study reveals the levels of academic
civility from both individual and institutional perspectives. It examines two primary scenarios: first, in
contexts where academic civility is present, it explores its relationship with three key dimensions—
respect, sensitivity, and appreciation. Second, in contexts where academic civility is lacking, it identifies
institutional consequences such as psychological strain, a decline in professional collaboration and
productivity, loss of trust, and a weakened sense of belonging.The study aims to evaluate these two
scenarios through an integrative review, offering both a conceptual and institutional analysis of the
positive and negative associations of academic civility. Ultimately, the findings emphasize that
academic civility influences not only individual motivation but also institutional commitment,
organizational citizenship, a sense of belonging, and overall productivity. The value and significance of
academic civility are underlined, and recommendations are offered for its reinforcement and promotion
