Elton Mayo and the Hidden Hawthorne

Fifty years of controversy have established the Hawthorne Experiments as industrial sociology's most durable legend and Elton Mayo as one of its most enigmatic figures. The precise part played by Mayo has been the subject of widely different interpretations both favourable and unfavourable. New evidence from his personal papers and from the Hawthorne archives support the view that his was a central role in developing as well as publicising the Experiments. This is confirmed by new information about (1) the frequency and duration of his visits to the plant (2) his close collaboration with Western Electric executives (3) his part in the presentation and publication of the results
