In this factory, workers do only one thing every day: wind copper wire around carbon rods.
Managers discovered that the employees' productivity was very low.
It fell far short of expectations.
Moreover, production has declined, and quality problems are also serious.
So, this group of Harvard professors and experts were invited.
These professors and experts proposed a hypothesis: human productivity is directly related to the environment.
When the environment improves, performance improves. Conversely, it declines.
This premise is something everyone can understand.
For example, there are spacious and bright classrooms with specialized teaching equipment and procedures, and professional teachers.
It's quick to learn.
If everyone is sitting on small stools, shivering in the cold wind, while the teacher is carrying bricks and a whip.
This kind of teaching efficiency must be very low.
This is a consensus.
However, the Hawthorne experiments showed that...
This theory is actually wrong!
Inside the Hawthorne factory.
The professors went into the workshop.
It was discovered that each of these workers had a dim desk lamp next to them.
It is to improve lighting and allow the wound copper wire to provide a clear view.
The professors first identified themselves.
Then move the desk lamp to a different angle to make the lighting environment brighter.
The professors discovered that productivity had increased!
Next, the professor replaced the dim desk lamps with brighter bulbs.
Efficiency is still improving!
What does this tell us?
With improved environment, production efficiency is increasing.
This also confirms the hypothesis proposed at the beginning.
The efficiency was obvious; within a day, production began to increase.
Both sides were delighted.
Logically, the factory should know that environmental improvements will lead to increased production efficiency.
There's absolutely no need to ask a professor for help in solving the problem.
However, there are two sides to every story.
The research should end here.
However, research must examine both sides.
After studying light, we must also study dark.
the next day.
A group of professors and experts then went down to the workshop.
Remove all the desk lamps from around the workers.
The environment has become harsh.
According to the assumption, production efficiency should decline sharply.
but……
The strange thing is...
Workers' output continues to rise sharply!
Everyone was stunned.
What the hell is going on?!
