Employees went to their work instead of receiving it, and so, the
factory system, as it is known today, become a dominant feature of
the economy. Under this system, land and buildings, hired labor, and
capital are made available to the entrepreneur, who strives to
combine these factors in the efficient achievement of a particular
goal. All these changes, in turn, brought about changes in the field of
management. Traditional, conventional or customary ideas of
management were slowly given up and management came to be

Hawthorne Experiment:
In 1927, a group of researchers led by Elton Mayo and Fritz
Roethlisberger of the Harvard Business School were invited to
join in the studies at the Hawthorne Works of Western Electric
Company, Chicago. The experiment lasted up to 1932. The
Hawthorne Experiments brought out that the productivity of the
employees is not the function of only physical conditions of
work and money wages paid to them. Productivity of employees
depends heavily upon the satisfaction of the employees in their
work situation. Mayo's idea was that logical factors were far less
important than emotional factors in determining productivity
