Management and the Worker by Roethlishberger and Dickson, Harvard University Press 1950, Copyright 1939 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College, 10th Printing, 615 pages

Management and the Worker seems to share the insights that were discovered at the Western Electric Company’s Hawthorne Works based in Chicago, and it’s strangely richer than most of us may have been led to believe.
