Mannesmann study avoided asking whether workers felt manipulated by humanization efforts

Evidence

Although the Mannesmann study was hardly designed to give workers an insight into their situation, it in no way reflected a business ideology, such as a point of view focused on producing social harmony within the factory. What resulted when sociologists supported business ideology was evident, for example, in the work of Otto Neuloh and his associates. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2095 (#expands, via linked claim)
