| Abstract: | Responds to criticisms by H. Toch, R. Stagner, H. M. Parsons, J. Feldman, and E. A. Locke (see PA, Vol 69:6878, 6877, 6874, 6864, and 6870, respectively) regarding the authors' reexamination, within a Marxist framework, of the Hawthorne studies of industrial workers. The authors stand by their claim that abundant evidence of worker resistance at Hawthorne was suppressed in influential accounts of the research. The controversy aroused by the Marxist viewpoint is considered in terms of class bias in psychology. (13 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
