MacGregor

MacGregor refers to the concept developed by Douglas McGregor in the 1960s, outlining two contrasting theories of human motivation and management in the workplace: Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X assumes that employees are inherently lazy and need to be closely supervised and controlled to be productive. In contrast, Theory Y posits that employees are self-motivated, enjoy their work, and seek responsibility. McGregor's ideas encourage managers to adopt a more trusting and empowering approach to leadership, fostering a positive work environment that can enhance productivity and employee satisfaction.
