McGregor, Douglas

McGregor, Douglas
(1906–64) Gen Mgt
U.S. social psychologist and academic. Developer of Theory X and Theory Y, which describe two views of people at work and two opposing management styles. McGregor’s writings on motivation and leadership, first published in The Human Side of Enterprise (1960), have been very influential. William G. Ouchi later developed the idea of Theory Z.
     The son of a clergyman, McGregor graduated from the City College of Detroit (now Wayne University) in 1932. He then went on to Harvard to study for a PhD. After working at Harvard, MIT, and Antioch College in Ohio, McGregor returned to MIT in 1954 as a professor of management. At MIT he attracted some of the stars of the emerging generation of thinkers to work with him, including Warren Bennis and Ed Schein.
