Building a world power in science and technology requires support from excellent work styles and academic ethics. Based on the survey data of the national scientific and technological workers conducted by the China Association for Science and Technology, this paper analyzed the cultural, institutional, and individual causes behind the negative phenomena in the scientific community, such as weakened spiritual motivation and the spread of utilitarianism. It pointed out the harm of poor academic conduct to the academic ecosystem, talent cultivation, and public trust. The paper proposed paths to strengthen the governance of work styles and academic ethics through demonstration and guidance to promote the spirit of scientists, combating academic misconduct and formalism, and cultivating scientific and cultural confidence through education, so as to create a clean and positive innovation ecosystem and advance high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.
