The Hawthorne experiments are described in many books, originally in Elton Mayo, The Human Problems of an Industrial Civilization (New York: Macmillan, 1933). These experiments showed how social factors, including group membership, affected productivity, although the studies started as experiments in the effects on productivity of changes in physical conditions.
