1. collegial

   Collegiality is the relationship between colleagues. A colleague is a fellow member of the same profession. Colleagues are those explicitly united in a common purpose and respect each other's abilities to work toward that purpose. A colleague is an associate in a profession or in a civil or ecclesiastical office. In a narrower sense, members of the faculty of a university or college are each other's colleagues. Sociologists of organizations use the word 'collegiality' in a technical sense, to create a contrast with the concept of bureaucracy. Classical authors such as Max Weber consider collegiality as an organizational device used by autocrats to prevent experts and professionals from challenging monocratic and sometimes arbitrary powers. More recently, authors such as Eliot Freidson (USA), Malcolm Waters (Australia), and Emmanuel Lazega (France) have said that collegiality can now be understood as a full-fledged organizational form.

1. collegial

   Collegial refers to a type of environment, behavior or relationship that is characterized by mutual respect, equality, cooperation, and shared responsibilities among individuals who are part of an organization or group, typically in an academic or professional setting. It often refers to a working or decision-making process that involves a board or committee rather than a single chief executive officer or other authoritative leader. The term comes from the word "colleague," which indicates a professional peer relationship.
