The boss/employee relationships were more dictatorial than we would tolerate in our society today. I'm sure this was what Mort learned during his early years and continued to practice it, thinking it was what motivated his staff to perform their best... Even if it could be demonstrated to him that it didn't work, he may have had a difficult time changing...

IIRC, It was Whitney Ellsworth who controlled the Superman books through the 40s.But, when Adventures of Superman started in '51, Ellsworth went to Hollywood, and Mort was left with control of the comics.Perhaps he didn't show his true colors until he was the king.
