 Hawthorne III - The consequences

  In consequence of the Hawthorne experiments (and similar research elsewhere) Behaviorism became an important element of management theory, looking at three different objects:

- the individual person within an organisation, its behavior and motivation

- the group within an organisation

- the leader within an organisation

 

By admitting the importance of the "Human Factor" the idea of "Scientific Management" received a heavy blow: Ever since management (and management theory) has to include factors in its calculations which are by definition uncalculable.
