The Hawthorne projectA: The Relay Assembly Test Room 1924-32
Stage 1 (Phase I, 3 months; Phase II, 7 months; Phase III, 14 months) 5 girls (of which 2 were exchanged after Phase II), 30% increase in productivity caused by changes in mental attitudes rather than physical working conditions.
Stage 2: 9 weeks: 5 other girls, 12 % immediate increase caused by group rather than factory bonus.
Stage 3: 2 years, 5 other girls, 15 % increase due to friendly supervision, rest pauses, etc. during first 14 months, then declining productivity.
B: Bank Wiring Test Room: 1931 Observations and interviews
“The function of restriction of output … is to protect the worker from management’s schemes” (Dickson quoted in Hoopes, 2003 p 152)
C: The Interview Program: Training interviewees (and supervisors) in “therapeutic interviewing skills”, aiming to interview every worker
D: The Counseling Program

Work organization principles such asJob rotationJob enlargementJob enrichment
Motivation theories such as those formulated by Maslow (fysiological, security, social, esteem, self-actualization needs)
Herzberg (satisfiers and motivators)
Vroom (Force to perform act i = Valence of outcome j x Expectancy that act i will lead to outcome j.)
Hackman & Oldham (motivation depends on perceived meaning, responsibility and knowledge of results, i.e. work content, autonomy and feedback)
