Indflydelse hører blandt de temaer, der har fået størst opmærksomhed i den arbejdsrelaterede forskning gennem tiden. Men hvor mange studier er udgået fra, at mulighederne for indflydelse er præget af ...strukturer på fx arbejdsplads- eller individniveau, argumenterer jeg i denne artikel for, at vores forståelse af indflydelse kan udvikles ved at anlægge et praxisperspektiv. Ud fra dette perspektiv er målet at beskrive og forstå, hvordan indflydelse konkret søges og forhandles på arbejdspladsen med et særligt fokus på de sociale mekanismer, der påvirker indflydelsesprocesserne. I artiklen gennemgås nogle eksisterende praxisorienterede studier af indfl ydelse, og der præsenteres et eksempel på, hvordan man empirisk kan tilgå praxis fra en etnometodologisk/ samtaleanalytisk vinkel. Én central pointe er, at indflydelsesprocesser indeholder forskellige oversete sociale kompleksiteter, som kan begrænse medarbejdernes muligheder for at påvirke forholdene på arbejdspladsen, hvis de ikke håndteres aktivt.
In this brief commentary, l continue an email dialog I was having with Phil Cushman that was interrupted by his death. This is a discussion concerning how it might be possible to engage ...constructively with those whose views one finds anathema. It connects to some of the tone evident in Phil's focal article and overlaps with critical concerns about presuming the mental states of others. I discuss these matters very briefly here to illustrate the kind of challenging conversational exchanges it was possible to have with Phil, given his generosity of spirit and the humility and respect he unfailingly displayed in his interactions with colleagues and students.

This paper presents two experimental studies investigating the impact of mobile messaging during an offline conversation on relational outcomes. A first study examined the impact on impression ...formation. A 3 × 1 experiment revealed that phone users were perceived as significantly less polite and attentive, and that self-initiated messaging behavior led to more negative impression formation than messaging behavior in response to a notification. A second study examined the impact on perceived conversation quality and social attraction. A 2 × 2 experiment revealed that perceived conversation quality was negatively affected by co-present mobile messaging behavior, while social attraction was not. Whether persons were acquainted or not with the phone user did not moderate this relationship.
•We examined whether co-present texting impacts negatively on relational outcomes.•In experiment 1, co-present texters were perceived as less polite and attentive.•In experiment 2, co-present texting caused perceptions of lower conversation quality.•Experiment 2 found no negative impact on social attraction.•Concerns over the harmful effect of co-present phone use appear warranted.
