“…The artificial nature of the identities from the MGE in the UKNL study works more polarising—as was also found in the trust games between outgroup members in Van Klingeren [ 32 ]—which leads to the percentage of conditional cooperators rather than neutral cooperators to be higher. The identification with Mumbai and Bangalore—even with some subjects being very passionate about it—did not induce the sense of rivalry between subjects as it was initially expected to.…”

Rising migration numbers and the resulting increase in economic and sociocultural heterogeneity in societies all over the world are theorised to put pressure on the sustainable use of common-pool resources [CPRs]. Increased heterogeneity is argued to decrease trust and diversify interests between resource users, leading to overuse and decline of natural and man-made CPRs. The aim of this paper is to understand cooperative behaviour under economic and sociocultural heterogeneity in CPRs, through the analyses of experimental data including 344 subjects from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and 144 subjects from India. Multilevel regression, ordinal logistic regression, linear conditional-contribution profiles [LCPs] and agent-based models [ABMs] are used to analyse and replicate experimental outcomes on the micro- and macro-level. Results show that the combination of economic and sociocultural heterogeneity affects cooperation negatively when the decision-situation is perceived as unfair, but that neither economic nor sociocultural heterogeneity on themselves affect cooperation negatively. Economic heterogeneity is even found to affect cooperation positively relative to homogeneity. Player type classification based on LCP scores shows that experimental outcomes can be interpreted with player types, and ABM simulations validate the experimental results by replicating the main outcomes.

“…Another variable that is deemed important in this context is trust, as literature and empirical results suggests that individuals trust others that are like them, for instance with respect to ethnicity, culture or religion [ 22 – 27 ]. Trust in its turn has been widely recognised to stimulate cooperation [ 28 – 32 ].…”

“…We asked respondents if they knew another worker who could give them access to 11 work and organisation related resources (see online Appendix for a detailed list), and counted those resources for which they indicated there was another member of their cooperative who would do so. These 11 items were adjusted from Van Der Gaag et al (2010) to the specific target group of gig workers, for example someone 'who can take over some of your tasks temporarily' or 'with whom you can informally chat about what is currently happening in the cooperative'. Participants reported on average close to 5 out of 11 resources that a fellow member could provide them with (M = 4.65, SD = 3.25).…”

“…That is because capital-suppliers have a shared interest in profit maximisation regardless of their background, while labour-suppliers have a plethora of different interests depending on their background (Dow, 2018). Naturally, preference heterogeneity occurs frequently in cooperative enterprises (Belloc, 2017; Höhler and Kühl, 2018) and common-pool resource management more generally (Van Klingeren and De Graaf, 2021). As such, the collective choice problem is often posited as an explanation for the relative rarity of worker cooperatives compared to conventional firms, especially in sectors with a heterogeneous workforce.…”

Commitment issues? Analysing the effect of preference deviation and social embeddedness on member commitment to worker cooperatives in the gig economy

As enterprises that are owned and governed by workers themselves for their mutual benefit, worker cooperatives are currently re-emerging as a promising antidote against precarity and economic dependence in the gig economy. Considering the social and geographic fragmentation of gig workers, it remains unclear whether cooperatives can count on the member commitment necessary to survive. This study investigates whether preference deviation and social disembeddedness stifle the commitment of gig workers to such cooperatives. A cross-sectional survey was used to gather data from members of four interconnected cooperatives in Italy that consist of gig workers in the cultural, ICT and education sectors ( n = 425). The results show that members with more deviating preferences and less social embeddedness among fellow members have a lower commitment towards their cooperative. These findings demonstrate the conditions for gig workers’ commitment to cooperatives, being a key factor in cooperative longevity.

“…Dovers [267] points out that even constructing an understanding of the limits to adaptation is fraught in part because of the institutional dimension, whose sheer complexity grows with the scale considered [268]. With climate change altering resource regimes and shaping the public good(s) of citizens linked through institutional behavior and (ideally) aligned through adaptation planning practices, questions about how common-pool resources and common-pool institutions can or should shape planning's role in allocating entitlements and obligations emerge [60,263,[269][270][271]. This, in turn (and in ways beyond the scope of this article), ensnares any number of private sector considerations and the need to, among other things, understand how planning and institutions are positioned to address or adapt to markets relevant in adaptation [66,143].…”

Climate Change, Adaptation Planning and Institutional Integration: A Literature Review and Framework

The scale and scope of climate change has triggered widespread acknowledgement of the need to adapt to it. Out of recent work attempting to understand, define, and contribute to the family of concepts related to adaptation efforts, considerable contributions and research have emerged. Yet, the field of climate adaptation constantly grapples with complex ideas whose relational interplay is not always clear. Similarly, understanding how applied climate change adaptation efforts unfold through planning processes that are embedded in broader institutional settings can be difficult to apprehend. We present a review of important theory, themes, and terms evident in the literature of spatial planning and climate change adaptation to integrate them and synthesize a conceptual framework illustrating their dynamic interplay. This leads to consideration of how institutions, urban governance, and the practice of planning are involved, and evolving, in shaping climate adaptation efforts. While examining the practice of adaptation planning is useful in framing how core climate change concepts are related, the role of institutional processes in shaping and defining these concepts—and adaptation planning itself—remains complex. Our framework presents a useful tool for approaching and improving an understanding of the interactive relationships of central climate change adaptation concepts, with implications for future work focused on change within the domains of planning and institutions addressing challenges in the climate change era.
