WK1DQ1-DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF THE HAWTHORNE STUDY For this discussion forum, imagine that during a weekly video conference with staff, you observe that two members of the team are always off camera or visibly occupied with other tasks. What

aspects of the Hawthorne study are relevant to addressing this sort of behavior? The Hawthorne Study, proposed tendencies among those involved or being monitored to alter or enhance their behaviors. Employees, irrespective of the era they belong to, always desire to be heard and valued; this is what motivates them and ultimately enhances productivity (Saha, 2018). The aspects that are relevant in my interpretation are, for people to be seen and for them to be heard. Feeling like they are part of the group or team creates for better engagement which should lead to better productivity. Taking on larger tasks without the fear of being judged makes those tasks less intimidating and can lead to someone wanting to show what they can do, and it leads to better performance. Workers within the team backing each other up and keeping everyone accountable is the social aspect. I have done this within my own personal teams and the response is that staff feel that someone cares, and they are willing to give their all for the group and the leader. Taking the time to recognize others strengths and abilities compliments the work that they do. References Saha, P. (2018, January 9). The ‘Hawthorne Effect’ in the modern workplace .
