Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modern organizational behavior studies started with Elton Mayo's Hawthorne Studies in the 1920s and 1930s, which focused on the relationship between productivity and work conditions. While Frederick Taylor's work on scientific management and Chester Barnard's theories on organizational communication were influential in the early 1900s, they did not represent the beginning of modern organizational behavior studies. A Gallup study conducted in 2008 to 2010 would be too recent to be considered the start of the field.
