The word Hawthorne effect originated from the study of the psychological aspects, the physical and influences of the environment at the place of work at the Hawthorne plant in the year the nineteen twenties. The employees improved their productivity when under study and productivity could fall when studies were complete. That meant that participants could alter their conduct because of attention, irrespective of the manipulation experiment. There is an excellent change in productivity as a result of the Hawthorne effect (Sedgwick and Greenwood, 2015).
Example of Muralidharan & Sundararaman (2011)’s experiment
The way to measure Hawthorne effect is by having two control groups, as a Hawthorne control group and the other one as a pure control group. The control group gets no intervention, but it takes part in the in the collection of data used in the study. The refined control lacks knowledge of the Hawthorne effect study (Evans, 2014).
