I choose a very important person for the development and evolution of the public administration, Elton Mayo.
Mayo was a social theorist, sociologist, industrial psychologist and specialist in organizational theory , human relations and human relations movements. He was born on December 26th, 1880 in Australia.
His principal interest was study the worker and the psychological effects that could produce the physical conditions of the work respect with the production. He show, with an experiment (Hawtorne) that the people work efficiently when into the organization exist a pleasant environment. Other contribution was create the base for the Human Relations School, this a key point for the development of public administration.

Elton Mayo is very important because in his contribution we base the study of the public administration, his evolution and nowadays the approach is applied to different organizations.

I know about him because in class of Organization Theory the teacher spoke about Elton Mayo when she explained the evolution of public administration and the different schools of administration, one of this, the Human Relations School.

I think is very important know about Elton Mayo, because we need organizations that consider the human element for his development, we don't need organizations that only found to get money or be efficient and effective without considering the welfare of workers.
