	Elton Mayo and Hawthorne Effect - Studies in Motivation
		The Hawthorne researchers were not the first to recognize that work groups tend to arrive at norms of what is "a fair day's work." However, they provided the best systematic description and interpretation of this phenomenon.
		Originally, the study was expected to last one year, but since the findings were inexplicable when the researchers tried to relate the worker's efficiency to manipulated physical conditions, the project was incrementally extended to five years.
		A group of 14 men participating in a similar study restricted production because they were distrustful of management and thought that their quotas would be artificially elevated if they were to perform beyond the norm during these studies.

		The Hawthorne Works, located in Cicero, Illinois, and just outside of Chicago, belonged to the Western Electric Company, and the studies were funded by the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences at the behest of General Electric, the largest manufacturer of light bulbs in the United States.
		The study was conducted by Mayo and W.
		What the studies really showed was that the workplace was not "a system of bureaucratic formal organization on the Weberian model, nor a system of informal group relations, as in the interpretation of Mayo and his followers but rather a system of power, of class antagonisms".

	David Timms, Nathaniel Hawthorne (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Hawthorne's flexibility over 'real' events and his distortions of 'real' settings suggest that his interest is in the moral reflections that history can stimulate, and that he himself will be cavalier with 'fact' if a moral issue can be foregrounded thereby.
		Hawthorne is much more likely to draw his reader into a situation in which these moral commonplaces are all questioned, in which all that is clear is that a multiplicity of contradictory readings is possible.
		Hawthorne himself was severely limited in his access to painting and statuary before his move to Europe in 1853, and he was writing for an audience whose experience he knew to be similarly narrow.

		The "Hawthorne effect" was not named after a researcher but rather refers to the factory where the effect was first thought to be observed and described: the Hawthorne works of the Western Electric Company in Chicago, 1924-1933.

	Allegories of art, allegories of heart: Hawthorne's "Egotism" and "The Christmas Banquet." - Nathaniel Hawthorne ...
		Hawthorne's artist tales of the 1840s separate into two distinct groups, depending on the type of artist described.
		In such tales as "The Birth-mark" and "Rappaccini's Daughter," Hawthorne describes artists and artist-figures who remain separated from humanity because of their cold intellect and desire to control others.
		But more importantly, the Transcendental aesthetic, in its concern with the ideal, depended upon the artist's separation from humanity, on his or her self-reliance.(5) Thus Hawthorne came to define the Transcendentalists, in a tale like "The Hall of Fantasy," as those who live only in the ideal world without any connection to humanity.
