National study on faculty-to-faculty incivility: strategies to foster collegiality and civility.

Faculty incivility can have lasting and devastating effects on individuals and organizations, including low morale, high turnover, increased absenteeism, isolation and alienation, diminished quality of work, and increased illness and health issues. To assess the nature and impact of faculty-to-faculty incivility, the author discusses a national study, its outcomes, and several evidence-based strategies to affectively address the problem.
