| Tiivistelmä: | This paper explores the thesis that a threat to the vital interests of an entity (an individual or a group) will lead to productivity increases in various forms. It is argued - due to the threat being present in the Hawthorne (here as: H.) experiments - that the adoption of a decline perspective is relevant to a recontextualization of the H. effect which means introducing aspects of an open systems approach into the analysis. Certain analytical similarities are revealed through a comparison btw. the H. effect and the Closedown and Horndal effects. It is recommended that threat be taken into account as one of the H. effect component. |
