I have been watching videos today on the psychology of employees and what makes an employee productive and happy. I found a video called The Social Context of Work Environments, it talks about the Hawthorne Effect, a study conducted in Hawthorne, Illinois that found that when a participant in a behavioral study knows they are being observed they will change their behavior. This effect was then applied to the business world and it was found that employees are more likely to be productive when their managers and co-workers are interested and attentive of their employees and co-workers. I think I am going to begin polling the psychological states of several employees at several businesses around Rutland. I will begin working on that questionnaire today.
