has....because observation is singular

i think it is has because it is not the workers showing something but the action that showed.

NO NO NO! has is incorrect.In order to know which verb should be used,the subject or noun that is closest to the verb will tell.So, therefor we say,''An observation by a group of WORKERS( has/have )shown that-WORKERS- more than 1.therefore since as workers is more than 1 we could replace replace it with THEY(pronoun) and reconstruct the sentence using they.So the correct answer is'' An observation by a group of WORKERS HAVE shown that. REMEMBER THAT SINGULAR SUBJECT GOES WITH SINGULAR VERBS AND PLURAL VERBS GO WITH PLURAL VERBS.
