“…Like the preference for kin (Spranger, Colarelli, Dimotakis, Jacob, & Arvey, 2012), sleep is a powerful motivator. Numerous studies have shown that variables associated with sleep can have effects on work performance (Driskell & Mullen, 2005; Wyatt & Bootzin, 1994). In particular, recent research has consistently shown that napping at work can enhance productivity (Davy & Göbel, 2013; Driskell & Mullen, 2005; Hayashi, Chikazawa, & Hori, 2004; Wyatt & Bootzin, 1994).…”

Antinepotism policies are common in work organizations. Although cronyism appears to be commonplace as well, official policing of cronyism is less common. We argue that social connections in some crony relationships and apparently nepotic ones may add considerable value to organizations. We also argue that policing of nepotic relationships can be a form of unfair discrimination when the perception of inequity, rather than its reality, is being policed. Finally we consider effective approaches that simultaneously preserve the value of social connection, avoid the actual ethical breaches associated with some social connections, and avoid any unfair discrimination on the basis of group memberships (in this case, family and friends).

“…These results show that sleep is important and has very real consequences besides just being tired during the day. At the individual level, research has shown that sleep loss affects cognitive functioning, decision making, performance, memory/learning, and general daytime sleepiness (Belenky et al, 2003;Caldwell & LeDuc, 1998;Harrison & Horne, 1999;Heuer & Klein, 2003;Philip et al, 2005;Pilcher & Huffcut, 1996;Wyatt & Bootzin, 1994). As an example, one study showed that just one night of sleep deprivation tended to decrease cognitive performance by 30 to 40 percent, whereas two nights of sleep deprivation resulted in 60 to 70 percent decline in performance (Buguet, Moroz, & Radomski, 2003).…”
