The human side of enterprise

Book • 1960
The book, published in 1960, revolutionized management by introducing Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X assumes that employees are inherently lazy and need to be controlled, while Theory Y posits that individuals are self-motivated and self-directed.

McGregor discusses the implications of Theory Y on various management practices, including performance appraisal, salaries, promotions, participation, leadership, and management development.

The book has had a lasting impact on management theory and practice, influencing major management gurus and continuing to be relevant in modern management styles.
