Elton Mayo

Hi! It's another good day on Earth now! Well, do you know that I study Public Administration? I will talk about Elton Mayo, a person that had a really good influence in my career and the industry.

He was an Australian doctor, sociologist and psicologist (a really complete man eh!). Why is he so important? In these times, people (administrators) thinks that the only important variable of production was time, so they trying to save time, for this reason and according to the specialization of work, each person has only one little thing to do in his work and this work was repeated mechanically.

Elton Mayo did experiments with people, searching for other variables of production. He discovered the motivation, the influence of light and the importance of the breaks at work although the most important thing was the notion of the relevance of good social relations at the work.

The next post... hahahaha I will talk about something I like so much, it will be hard to choose!
