“…To induce the shared experience, the handler, at the start of the meeting, invited the source to a Swedish fika—sharing a cup of coffee and a pastry. A fika is a culturally significant shared experience in Sweden used to socialize and promote interpersonal affiliation (Adelswärd, 2013; Brones & Kindvall, 2015; Morley et al., 2018). The current manipulation, thus, suited our research objectives.…”

ObjectivesWe examined the possibility of using shared experiences to recruit human intelligence (HUMINT) sources. The research was based on two hypotheses. (a) Shared experiences amplify interpersonal affiliation, which increases the extent to which sources will commit to an intelligence arrangement. (b) The social connection opportunity shared experiences afford is what increases such commitment.MethodsParticipants assumed the role of a source meeting a potential handler, a police officer, to discuss an arrangement whereby they might supply intelligence. We manipulated shared experience via the meeting's setting. Half of the participants underwent a shared experience to facilitate interpersonal affiliation with the handler, and the other half did not undergo such an experience. The handler used one of two approaches to propose the arrangement. One approach afforded a social connection opportunity, and the other constrained the possibility of a social connection in the arrangement.ResultsThe findings indicated that shared experiences can have interpersonal influence. The shared experience operationalization positively influenced felt closeness and social connection affordance. However, there was little indication that handlers could capitalize on shared experience to bolster commitment.

“…In so doing, we were able to activate our respective positionalities, not least with regard to noticing the dynamics of normative leadership, class, gender, sexuality, and age that were at times expressed by our participants. We acknowledge that Finland is discursively positioned as a promised land of gender equality, and, as in many of the Nordic countries, the state and its public sector employers are visioned and experienced as benign, supportive and pro-citizen (Morley, Angervall, Berggren, & Dodillet, 2018). A key finding from both the South Asian and Finnish projects is that women are being rejected or disqualified from senior leadership as a class through discriminatory recruitment, selection and promotion procedures, gendered career pathways, and exclusionary networks and practices in women-unfriendly institutions.…”

“…The importance of a conducive psychosocial work environment has been emphasized by several researchers, including Khuong and Yen 10 and Morley et al 11 Sunusi 12 also pointed out that a good work environment can create a binding work relationship between individuals in the workplace. In light of these findings, this study aims to investigate the impact of psychosocial work environment on the research productivity of librarians in universities in southwestern Nigeria while also considering other demographics that may have impact.…”

The study examined the influence of psychosocial work environment on the research productivity of librarians in universities in southwestern Nigeria. A descriptive survey research approach was utilised in the study. The population consisted of 363 librarians from all of southwestern Nigeria's university libraries. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings indicated that librarians' research productivity was high in of quantity of publication but low in terms of publications in Scopus/WoS. Librarians' psychosocial work environments were discovered to be psychologically and socially fit. The study concluded that librarians' research productivity was significantly positively influenced by their psychosocial work environment, and it therefore recommends that library management adhere to a planned work schedule to reduce librarian strain, and that procedures be put in place to ensure that librarians are not overly exposed to the critical life events of others.
