Human Relation Theory
The Human Relations Theory, developed by Elton Mayo, emphasizes the importance of social factors, employee well-being, and interpersonal relationships in the workplace. Arising from the famous Hawthorne Studies, the theory revealed that employees are not just motivated by money or working conditions, but also by attention, recognition, and a sense of belonging. It marked a shift from viewing workers as mere tools of production to recognizing them as social beings with emotional needs. The theory laid the foundation for modern HR practices by promoting open communication, teamwork, employee involvement, and supportive leadership, ultimately enhancing job satisfaction and productivity.
