Gael Elton Mayo

Über den Autor

Elton Mayo was an Australian psychologist and organizational theorist, best known for his work in industrial psychology and the human relations movement. He gained prominence through his Hawthorne studies conducted in the 1920s and 1930s, which highlighted the impact of social relations and worker morale on productivity. Mayo's research revealed that understanding the emotional and social needs of workers was essential for fostering a productive work environment, a revolutionary idea at the time that shifted focus from purely economic factors to human elements in the workplace.
