Question

The human relations movement did not affect the perceived role of either the worker or the organization.True or false?

Answer 1

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The human relations movement emerged as a criticism of management theory.

This movement began in the United States in 1927, as a result of Hawthorne's experiences. It was developed according to the need for the work environment to be more democratic and humane, as the man was subjected to a mechanistic work structure that caused accidents, overwork, fatigue and high turnover, due to his poor working conditions .

Therefore, it is correct to say that the human relations movement affected the role perceived by the worker and the organization, because through Hawthorne's experiences, it was realized that:

• the level of production is measured by social integration and not by the physical capacity of employees.
• The group influences individual behavior.
• Organizations came to be seen as an informal set of social groups that do not always correspond with the formal organization.
• The irrational and emotional elements must be further analyzed and considered.
