Human Problems of an Industrial Civilization
Human Problems of an Industrial Civilization by Elton Mayo
Chapter 1. FATIGUE. What Elton Mayo discovered and what undoubtedly is very significant is that man's attitude towards work and the relationships between the worker and the manager have features that are repeated in the U.S. and Soviet establishment. Fifty years ago it was thought that human problems corresponded to the specialist, is now beginning to consider in particular situations and contributes the effectiveness of any business manager and every economic expert. The authorities realized national lack of knowledge on the fundamental laws that govern human effectiveness; it shows the need for scientific studies on working hours and other working conditions capable of producing maximum performance. In 1917 created the Board of Industrial Fatigue Research. The industrial mechanism part mentions that the failure is not due to ignorance of the springs of production, is due to ignorance of the human conditions of continuous production. Have shown that fatigue is often associated with the formation of various chemicals such as hydrogen Sarcolactic; enthusiasts whose statements seemed to imply the possibility of a simple chemical discovery capable of banishing industrial fatigue. The attempt to calculate or perform tests on physiological fatigue in the industry took place with little success. In the factory, muscle fatigue and cannot be isolated in the laboratory, certain influences such as the ability and intelligence to rely on the correct functioning of the higher centers of the central nervous system. The word fatigue in industrial conditions we must remember that his character is very complex. Cathcart I conclude that fatigue is a normal physiological condition that can become pathological. Fatigue is reduced capacity for work. Some tests used to indirectly determine the degree of fatigue are:1. Variations in performance and quality of work performed. 2. lost time 3. Turnover. 4.Disease and
