CasesJohn just graduated from the Colledge of Business
Administration and has joined his family’s small business which employs 25 semiskilled workers. The first week on the job his dad called him in said ”John, I’ve had a chance to observe you working with the men and women for the past two days and , although I hate to, I feel I must say something. You are just too nice to people. I know they thought human relation stuff at the university, but it just doesn’t work here. I remember when Hawthorne studies were first reported and everybody at the university got all exited about them, but believe me, there is more to managing people than just nice to them”
