The Hawthorne studies were a series of experiments conducted between 1924-1932 at the Western Electric Company in Chicago to study the impact of workplace conditions on worker productivity. The studies found that improved lighting had little impact on productivity, but that worker productivity and satisfaction increased in response to being studied, regardless of changes made. The researchers concluded that social and psychological factors strongly influence worker performance.
