(1909-1960)
Descripción:
According to Spector (2008) “One of the most important events of this period was the Hawthorne studies, which continued for more than 10 years at the Western Electric Company” (p. 12). The Hawthorne studies became a pivotal point in the evolution of industrial and organizational psychology because it was primarily responsible for the development of the organizational side of the field (Spector, 2008; Koppes, 2007; Jex, 2002). The Hawthorne studies inadvertently revealed the human side of organizations. In another attempt to study methods of increasing efficiency and productivity it was learned that social aspects of an organization, such as work groups and the worker's knowledge that they are being watched, affected the workers behavior and performance (Spector, 2008; Koppes, 2007; Jex, 2002). The understanding that social aspects of the work environment had an effect on behavior led to psychologists examining the work environment from the perspective of the individual employees (Spector, 2008; Koppes, 2007; Jex, 2002).
