at work, the physical issues at and neighboring the worksite that support or hinder employee
health (Georgakopoulos & Kelly, 2017). Workplace environmental assessment also evaluates the
physical and organizational work environment for health hazards and risks. Workplace civility
helps in promoting collaboration between nurses and physicians to provide high‐quality services
(Hossny & Sabra, 2020). Nurses and physicians working in a civil climate, in addition to early
response to incivility and low intolerance for misconduct, promotes effective collaboration
(Hossny & Sabra, 2020).
