First, the Hawthorne effect is a theory, not a fact. It has become "mythical" in its acceptance, but was based on seriously flawed research conducted over several years from about 1927 - 1932. Parsons has pretty much debunked the theory and it is no longer accepted by those who are familiar with his analysis and other data. See H. M. Parsons, Science, 8 March, 1974.

What is the Hawthorne effect?

The Hawthorne effect is a phenomenon where individuals modify their behavior when they are aware of being studied or observed.
