The study tools included the initial data sheet and included the following axes: (gender, age, place of residence), a passive aggressive behavior scale (prepared by: the researcher), and a scale of the decline in the productive capacity of the academic classroom group (prepared by: the researcher). Among the most prominent findings of the study were: There is a statistically significant direct relationship at a significance level of (0.01) between passive aggressive behavior and the decline in the productive capacity of the academic classroom group, and that the most negative aggressive behaviors are related The decrease in the productive capacity of the academic classroom group was represented by the following: hidden emotional revenge behavior, then self-deprecating behavior, followed by deliberate incompetence behavior, and finally temporary accommodating behavior.
