			Hawthorne critics have generally misunderstood or misrepresented the modest ideological and methodological presumptions of this pioneering research, which was intended to generate, not verify, hypotheses. This article reviews the decades of controversy within the historical context of the discipline of organizational behaviour Original research records, and recent interviews with the actual study participants support the validity and importance of the original research reports.

Since the original publication of the Hawthorne studies in 1939, many scholars have undertaken efforts to re-evaluate, interpret, and expand upon the findings of the Hawthorne experiment using various theoretical perspectives. Notably, there have been methodological criticisms directed at the studies, mainly focused on the Relay Assembly Test Room.
	These criticisms support that the sample size used in the study was insufficient, that the controls implemented were inadequate, that modifications were made to the original plan, and that a number of subjects were replaced during the study. Although the Hawthorne studies have faced some methodological criticisms, most of these criticisms target the Relay Assembly Test Room<ref> https://www.jstor.org/stable/3000246</ref>.Subsequently, Crainer, S. & Dearlove, argued whether 'the Hawthorne Effect', that was a subproduct theory of the Illumination studies and the Relay assembly Room can be supported or not.

	Carey (1967) said that although the Hawthorne effect was a big discovery, not enough people have reanalyzed the studies, especially given the evidence that higher wages didn't necessarily lead to higher productivity. Additionally, the experiments were cut short because the subjects' employment ended in 1932, when the company's profits fell by 80% due to the stock market crash.<ref>Shedding Light on the Hawthorne Studies https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119111931.ch47</ref>		Carey (1967) said that although the Hawthorne effect was a big discovery, not enough people have reanalyzed the studies, especially given the evidence that higher wages didn't necessarily lead to higher productivity.

			Perhaps the greatest limitation of the Hawthorne studies was the lack of surviving data. Until 2009 it was believed that the original files were destroyed. Instead, they were found in the archive of Cornell University. Renewed analysis of the data showed more inconsistencies<ref>Shedding Light on the Hawthorne Studies https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119111931.ch47</ref>.

	Providing guidance on the utilization of the Hawthorne studies poses a significant challenge since it cannot be categorized as tool, concept or theory. Rather, a series of historical experiments and research that influenced both those who participated in them and subsequent scholars. As a result, it is ~~impossible~~ to directly link any ~~particular~~ theory ~~or concept~~ to the Hawthorne studies themselves.		Providing guidance on the utilization of the Hawthorne studies poses a significant challenge since it cannot be categorized as tool, concept or theory. Rather, a series of historical experiments and research that influenced both those who participated in them and subsequent scholars. As a result, it is difficult to directly link any theory to the Hawthorne studies themselves. Later in time, many theories were used to explain some of the phenomena that were observed in factory, for example The social exchange theory (SET) by Homans, which the most prominent theories in the organizational behavior literature. Yaron J. Zoller and Jeff Muldoon in their paper try to connect the development of the Theory with the Hawthorne studies <ref> 10.1108/JMH-05-2018-0026</ref>.
	Nevertheless, a term that derived from the Hawthorn studies is the “Hawthorne effect” that first appeared in a chapter of “Research methods in the behavioral sciences” from French in 1953. This term emerged from the observations of the illumination tests in the first phase of the studies. It is referred to the notion that people change their behavior when they know they are being observed, but the way French refers to the term is the impact of ‘artificial’ or ‘special’ aspects of the situation created for the experiment.

	In the span of 60 years (1953-2003) the term Hawthorne Effect has been used in 227 book and papers according to Mecca Chiesa and Sandy Hobbs and in many different fields of studies such as Research Methods, organizational psychology and sociology, educational and developmental psychology. According to the context in the different references would slightly alter the meaning of term.
