Hawthorne Studies as a Safety Culture Tool

http://www.safetycultureplus.com This video discusses my opinions and comments on "Was the Hawthorne Study really about Productivity?."

The studies revealed the influence that informal work groups can have on the productivity of employees and on their response to such factors as supervision and financial incentives.

These studies emphasized the impact of human motivation on production and output. When the first phase of experiments begin it was believed that every social problem was "ultimately individual." The results found that group rather than individual psychology was a key factor in the production performance of the workers.
