Sounds similar to Hawthorne effect to me, where they sudied office workers on how they reacted to dimming or raising the lights and both caused upward productivity but it was because the workers realised they were being watched not because the lighting caused changes. Neither the hiring or the firing necissarily make the company more efficient but maybe being watched and knowing they are being watched does.
