Some people actually screw up more when there's someone watching them... Some people really don't like it and will even scold you! I kena last time when I was in UK, staying in my friend's place. This dude came over to fix a washer-dryer. I wanted to watch but he told me to go away. When I insisted I wanted to watch, he told me rather sarcastically his work was certified good and if there were any problems, to call the company. He also said if I didn't leave him be, he'd not fix it.... Hmmmm... Asshole... :P Yeah… Some people actually screw up more when there’s someone watching them… Some people really don’t like it and will even scold you!

No wait.....we ARE smarter Hee hee. Actually, mechanics, I ALWAYS stand there and watch them do their work. Because if I don't stand there...and chat with them....and flirt with them...then I don't get the discounts they will give me after all the activities above :P There’s also Shar’s theory: Management – They make us look smarter.

There is another guy, McGregor's Theory X & Theory Y http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_X According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs , fulfill their physical needs they will be motivated :D Mike, Dun worry about Hawthrone.

The mechanic does a better job when you're around coz he doesn't want you catching him doing a shoddy job and give him a grade A fucking. And your productivity increases when your boss is around coz you're afraid of getting a grade A fucking from him. It's basic human reaction. Heck, I could give it a fancy name called "Arkane's Law of Grade A Fucking Aversion". Psheesh !!! Fuck the Hawthorne effect.
