1927年,美国哈佛大学的管理学家与心理学家联合起来,进行了一场举世瞩目的实验。他们找到位于芝加哥的霍桑工厂,合作进行实验。实验开始了。专家们将一个车间的灯光亮度增强了一些,使原本幽暗的车间变得明亮有如白昼;同时又把另一个车间的灯光减弱了一些,使它显得阴沉好似傍晚。做好这些之后,他们让老板告诉员工,说现在哈佛大学专家正在对我们进行一场实验,目的是提高大家的工作效率。 In 1927, Harvard management and psychologists united to conduct a world-renowned experiment. They found Hawthorne’s factory in Chicago and collaborated on experiments. The experiment started. The experts increased the intensity of the light in a workshop to make the darkness of the original workshop brighter as day, while at the same time weakened the light of the other workshop, making it look gloomy and evening like an evening. After doing so, they told their boss that the Harvard University experts are now conducting an experiment with us to improve everyone’s productivity.
