McGregor Mining

McGregor Mining refers to a method of mineral extraction associated with Douglas McGregor’s management theories, particularly his concept of "Theory Y." It emphasizes empowering workers, fostering collaboration, and trusting their innate motivation and capabilities. In a mining context, this approach encourages inclusive decision-making, accountability, and innovation among miners, leading to increased efficiency, safety, and morale. Instead of top-down control, McGregor Mining promotes a participative environment where workers are actively engaged and invested in the success of the operation, which can enhance productivity and sustainability in mineral extraction activities.
