THE MOTIVATION THEORY
Some pioneering work that began as an attempt to discover ways to increase production efficiency led to
the founding of the human relations movement in the industry and to the development of motivational skills
and tools for managers. In 1927 researchers were involved in determining the optimum amount of lighting,
temperature, and humidity (with lighting being considered the most important) for the assembly of
electronic components at Western Electric. The researchers found that lighting had no consistent effect on
production. In fact, production sometimes increased when the lighting was reduced to the level of ordinary
moonlight! The important part of this experiment began when two Harvard researchers, Elton Mayo and
Fritz Roethlisberger, were brought in to investigate these unexpected results further. They found that
workers were responding not to the level of lighting but to the fact that they were being observed by the
experimenters.

This phenomenon came to be known as the Hawthorne effect since the experiments were conducted at the
Western Electric Hawthorne plant. This was the first documented and widely published evidence of the
psychological effects of doing work, and it led to the first serious effort aimed at examining psychological
and social factors in the workplace. Further experiments were continued for five years. Generally, the
researchers concluded from their experiments that economic motivation (pay) was not the sole source of
productivity and, in some cases, not even the most important source. Through interviews and test results,
the researchers focused on the effects of work attitudes, supervision, and the peer group, and other social
forces, on productivity.

Their findings laid the groundwork for modern motivation theory, and the study of human factors on the
job, which continues to this day in such common practices as selection and training, establishing favorable
work conditions, counseling, and personnel operations. The contributions of this experiment shifted the
focus of human motivation from economics to a multifaceted approach including psychological and social
forces.

correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Shintoism and Buddhism in Japan: an old love story
The difference between Shintoism and Buddhism is simple; they are two very distinct religions.
Shintoism is the main traditional Japanese religion. Shintoism means "the way of the gods", and people
worship thousands of kami deities in Shinto shrines. The kami are deities of nature, such as the sun, the sea,
and even rice. On the other hand, Buddhism originated in India and is a religion based on the teaching of
the Buddha and the hope of achieving enlightenment by breaking the cycle of reincarnation. It was imported
to Japan from China in the sixth century. For a long time, the two religions evolved together and mingled.
The cohabitation ended when Shinto became the state religion in Japan during the Meiji era (1868-1912).
Shinto shrines were "purified" and Buddhism was persecuted, accused of being a foreign religion.
As soon as you enter, the difference between a Buddhist temple and a Shinto shrine is observable. Access
to the place of worship a Shinto shrine is always marked by a torii (sacred portico), usually red, which

5
delimits the passage from the profane world to the sacred world. The entrance is also marked with a
shimenawa (a wide rope made of straw). At the entrance is a small basin of water accompanied by a bamboo
ladle: this is the chozuya, where the faithful must wash their hands and mouth to purify themselves. the
Buddhist temple is different. At the entrance, it has a temple gate with a roof, the mon. The temple gate
often houses the statues of the protective deities Agyo and Ungyo, or the protective deities of the four
directions.
The Shinto shrine is made up of two buildings: the haiden, where ceremonies take place, and the honden, a
closed building reserved for the kami and objects personifying it. The two buildings are sometimes
interconnected and topped with gables. The Buddhist temple consists of several buildings: the kondo, the
main hall where there are statues of Buddha; butuden, rather reserved for Zen temples; buildings for
education; copying of sutra conservation and meditation, etc. It is accessed through several doors and there
are also stone pagodas.
The last difference between these two religious spaces in Japan is their use by the congregation. The
Japanese rather go to Shinto shrines for ceremonies linked to the major stages of life (births, marriages) or
for family or personal prosperity (financial success, love, career ... etc). Buddhist temples on the other hand
often host ceremonies related to death or personal devotion to achieve enlightenment.
No matter what the differences are, the vast majority of Japanese people practice both religions in parallel,
throughout their lives, and may well have a small Shinto altar in their home, near a statue of Buddha.
