Hawthorne effect is a concept that came from the Hawthorne Works Factory near Chicago, Illinois, USA. A study was conducted in this factory which focused on finding the changes in the workers’ productivity in higher or lower levels of light. This as a result helped in concluding that the behavior of the subjects changes if they are aware that they are being observed. This is merely considered to be a response to the subject’s knowledge of being observed and not related to any external influence.
