Indeed, the studies ended   2   giving their name to the “Hawthorne effect” the extremely influential idea the very   3   to being experimented upon changed subject’s behavior.

The idea arose because of the   4   behavior of the women in the plant. According to   5   of the experiments their hourly out put rose when lighting was increased, but also when it was dimmed. It did not   6   what was done in the experiment;   7   something was changed, productivity rose. A(n)   8   that they were being experimented upon seemed to be   9   to alter workers’ behavior   10   itself.

After several decades, the same data were   11   to econometric the analysis. Hawthorne experiments has another surprise store   12   the descriptions on record, no systematic   13   was found that levels of productivity were related to changes in lighting.

When work started again on Monday, output   16   rose compared with the previous Saturday and   17   to rise for the next couple of days   18  , a comparison with data for weeks when there was no experimentation showed that output always went up on Monday, workers   19   to be diligent for the first few days of the week in any case, before   20   a plateau and then slackening off. This suggests that the alleged” Hawthorne effect” is hard to pin down.
