description This review examines the critical importance of ethical values for future leaders in South African higher learning institutions, focusing on academic jealousy. Higher Education (HE) institutions play a pivotal role in shaping society; therefore, future leaders need a strong ethical foundation to navigate academic complexities. Academic jealousy, characterized by undermining peers due to envy, threatens academic integrity and progress. The authors conducted a desktop and literature study using a scoping review approach, emphasizing cognitive distortion variables contributing to academic envy and key global ethical leadership principles. The literature revealed the roots, manifestations, and detrimental impacts of academic jealousy on individuals and institutions. The review underscores the necessity of fostering a culture of ethical conduct, transparency, and mutual respect among academics. It advocates for leadership development programs prioritizing ethical training to cultivate leaders who are academically competent and morally grounded. The review concludes with strategies for HE institutions to address academic jealousy, promoting an ethical and collaborative academic environment, ultimately advancing South Africa's educational landscape.
