    The document discusses the founders of organizational behavior theory including Chester Barnard, Henri Fayol, Frederick Herzberg, Abraham Maslow, and David McClelland. It then summarizes the key findings of the Hawthorne Studies conducted in 1924 which found that employee productivity increased even when lighting conditions were changed, suggesting that social factors beyond physical conditions impact productivity. The studies explored variables like work hours, breaks, and pay incentives and found that productivity fluctuated in each test period, revealing the influence of informal worker groups and supervision on cooperation and goal achievement.
