Excerpt from The Drunkard's Search in Behavioral Science

Recently, the scientific worth of the Hawthorne Studies has received scorching criticism from Alex Carey, a member of the Univer sity of New South Wales in Australia, of all places. After a probing analysis of the evidence and methods, he concludes: The results of these studies far from supporting the various components of the human relations approach, are surprisingly consistent with a rather old-world view about the value of monetary incentives, driving leadership, and discipline. It is only by massive and relentless reinterpretation that the evidence is made to yield contrary conclu sions. To make these points is not to claim that the Hawthorne studies can provide serious support for any such old - world view. The limitations of the Hawthorne studies clearly render them incapable of yielding serious support for any sort of generalization whatever.
