coaction
Working together closely
Coaction is joint action or working together toward a common end.
In psychology, coaction specifically describes the effect of others' presence on individual performance—people often work faster or differently when others perform the same task nearby: The coaction of multiple runners pushed everyone to better times.
The word can also mean coercion or compulsion, though this sense is rare.
