The correct answer is the Hawthorne effect

The preponderance of the psychological factor over the physiological factor has been proven: the efficiency of workers is affected by psychological conditions. The conclusion (which became known as the Hawthorne experiment) is that productivity goes up when workers perceive that the company's management pays attention to them .
