PART 1

　　It did not matter what was done in the experiment; so long as something was changed productivity rose . An awareness that they were being experimented upon seemed to be enough to alter workers’ behavior by itself. After several decades , the same data were subjected to the econometric analysis . Hawthorne experiments had another surprise in store . Contrary to the descriptions on record , no systematic evidence was found that levels productivity were related to changes in lighting.
