In the contemporary academic landscape, ethical hiring practices are increasingly recognized for their critical role in countering academic narcissism, which is a condition marked by an excessive focus on personal achievements and self-importance, often undermining collaborative and community-oriented values. This review delves into the mechanisms by which ethical hiring can mitigate these narcissistic tendencies, emphasizing the importance of fostering an academic environment that prioritizes integrity, diversity, and genuine scholarly contributions. By examining the intersection of hiring practices and academic culture, the discussion highlights how strategic recruitment can serve as a foundation for a more inclusive and ethically grounded academic community.
