	Elton Mayo and the HRM Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Mayo's basic thesis was that "our understanding of human problems of civilization should be at least equal to our understanding of its material problems.
		During the four years of close association with the Hawthorne Works, Mayo was a "protective supporter." He helped the researchers to endure destructive criticism of their work from inside the company and out, and to tolerate their own doubts about the value of their work.
		Mayo claimed that the rabble hypothesis that guided neo-classical economists is based on a non-normal situation of total social disintegration (Mayo, 1945, pp.

		Mayo went on to his most famous experiments - those at the Hawthorne Works of the General Electric Company in Chicago between 1924 and 1927.
		Mayo realised that the women, exercising a freedom they didn't have on the factory floor, had formed a social group that also included the observer who tracked their productivity.
		Mayo realised that the very fact that people were taking an interest in the workers was affecting their behaviour and their productivity - and, even when the changes made were, at face value, negative (such as shortening rest breaks or lowering lighting levels) productivity rose.

		When the researchers were confident that somehow group dynamics--and not any particular 'incentive'--lay at the heart of the matter, Western Electric commissioned Elton Mayo from the Harvard Business School to develop the next step of experiments.
		In 1931, Mayo began a study that involved 6 1/2 months of watching the behavior of 14 male workers.
		Mayo's key insight was to compare the 'soldiering' of the male workers to the productivity increases seen among the women in the earlier studies.

		Mayo and his good-looking male research assistants let the almost all-female group of workers at the Hawthorne plant think they were studying the effects of lighting on productivity.
		Mayo stated that the reason workers are motivated by such things is that individuals have a deep psychological need to believe that their organization cares about them, is open, concerned, and willing to listen.
		The "Cult of Mayoism" became the predominant management philosophy in its day, as administrators everywhere sought to re-train their supervisors to play the role that Mayo's assistants played.

		To his amazement, Elton Mayo discovered a general upward trend in production, completely independent of any of the changes he made.
		Mayo began to look around and realized that the women, exercising a freedom they didn't have on the factory floor, had formed a social atmosphere that also included the observer who tracked their productivity.
		The power of the social setting and peer group dynamics became even more obvious to Mayo in a later part of the Hawthorne Studies, when he saw the flip side of his original experiments.
