The role that Mayo had in the development ofmanagement is usually associated with his discovery of
• Social man and the need for this in the work place.
• Mayo found that workers acted according to sentiments and emotion.
• He felt that if you treated the worker with respect and tried to meet their needs than they would be a better worker for you and both management and the employee would benefit.

The experiments
• There were four main phases to the Hawthorne experiments:
• The illumination experiments• The relay assembly test room• The interviewing program• The bank wiring observation room

4.The bank wiring observation room
14 men
The group developed it’s own pattern of informal social relationsand norms of what constituted proper behaviour
Group pressures on individual workers were stonger than financialincentives offered by management

Workplaces are social environments and within them, people are motivated by much more than
economic self-interest
CONCLUSION
In the training world, the Hawthorne Effect is a chameleon
The mere act of showing people that you're concerned about them usually spurs them to better job performance
![Page 12: BEHAVIOURAL MANAGEMENT THEORY HUMAN RELATIONS APPROACH ELTON MAYO STUDIES CAVENDISH UNIVERSITY ARMENIA 2008 Contemporary Trends in Developing and Organizing](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56649dc75503460f94abc9d2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Carrying the theory to the edges of cynicism, some would say it doesn't make any difference what you
teach because the Hawthorne Effect will produce the positive outcome you want.
In fact, the contention is that about 50% of any successful training session can be attributed to the
Hawthorne Effect.
The Hawthorne Effect has also been called the 'Somebody Upstairs Cares' syndrome
When people spend a large portion of their time at work, they must have a sense of belonging, of being part of a team. When
they do, they produce better. That's the Hawthorne Effect.
