Why would you control for the Hawthorne effect, if it's aligned with your intended effect?
- tlb 9y agoBecause the Hawthorne effect wears off over time. If you don't control for it, you'll be fooled into adding all kinds of interventions that have no long-term benefit.
- sologoub 9y agoAs @tlb said - it’s temporary and it’s also not sustainable since it relied on essentially stressing your workforce more. Unless you have a fresh supply of “bodies” with equivalent (usually low) skills, you run the risk of burning out your workforce.
