    The document discusses the Human Relations Movement started by Australian psychologist Elton Mayo. The movement focused on analyzing individual workers and what motivates them, rather than just focusing on tasks. Key findings included the Hawthorne Effect, where workers improved output simply due to extra attention, and that groups, communication, and leadership are important. Different management approaches are also discussed, from classical top-down control to more modern behavioral and contingency approaches emphasizing teams, communication and adapting to changes.
