Hawthorne effect

Interesting effect I've come across - Hawthorne effect.

It is said that:
The Hawthorne effect is a form of reactivity whereby subjects improve an aspect of their behavior being experimentally measured simply in response to the fact that they're being studied,[1][2] not in response to any particular experimental manipulation.

Yes! This is true. From my experience these small changes made me work better. It looks like nature of human being.
