Study where employees improved each time because they were being studied?
by Dustin Freeman 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Hello folks, I'm trying to recall the name of a study that went like this: Business managers were trying to improve something in the physical building of the office. Either lighting or layout or something else. They brought in a team to study the effect on employees. They switched from condition A to B, and found a large improvement in employees' mood and productivity. Then, to be sure of the effect, they changed back from B to A. They, again, confusingly, found an improvement in employees' mood and productivity. To try again, they switched from A to B, and again found a yet higher improvement. The conclusion of the study was that there was a confounding positive effect on employees of regularly asking them how they were doing, which naturally increased as the results of the study became more confusing. Anyone recally this? Or something similar?

by zhen＠dgp.toronto.edu 04 Aug '16

Hi all, Sorry for the duplicate email if you have received my previous one from the nrg mailing list. As part of my Master's thesis project, I am conducting an Observation Study on how people perform a document analytics task with their own computing devices. You will be selected as an investigator at a city named Alderwood, and you are going to find the truth from the strange news stories.The study will take place at the participant's own working environment. The study will take about 1.5 hours, including 1 hour analytics task, 3 min questionnaire, and 20-25 min interview. The study will be video recorded. You will be compensated $20 in cash after the study. If you feel interested, please reply me with your available time from my Google Calendar: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=a3NhcnRxYWZnanI0aGw3ZjM4OWty… You can click the "week" tab to have a better view. Please feel free to ask questions if you have. I am using the same task material with Michael's project at Autodesk, and Peter's project "Conductor". So if you haven't attended their study or other similar analytic contests, and if you love solving puzzles, please join us! Thanks, Zhen -- Zhen LI ??
