collegiality
Workplace mutual respect
Collegiality is the cooperative relationship among colleagues, especially in professional or academic settings.
It suggests mutual respect, shared decision-making, and a willingness to work together rather than compete: The department was known for its collegiality.
The word often appears when that spirit is notably present or conspicuously absent: Budget cuts have eroded collegiality among faculty.
