Theory X and Theory Y |
Summary of McGregor's Theory X and Y. Abstract |
McGregor, Douglas 1960 |
Douglas McGregor, an American
social psychologist, proposed his famous Theory X and Y models
in his book 'The Human Side Of Enterprise' (1960).
McGregor sees Theory Y as the preferable model and management method, however he felt it was difficult to use in large-scale operations. In 1981, William Ouchi came up with a variant that combined American and Japanese management practices together to form Theory Z, having the following characteristics: long-term employment - collective decision making - individual responsibility - slow evaluation & promotion - implicit, informal control with explicit, formalized measures - moderately specialized career paths - and a holistic concern for the employee, including family.
