Abstract
Douglas McGregor (1906-1964) introduced us to Theory X and Theory Y in his 1960 book, The Human Side of Enterprise and developed a philosophical view of humankind about human nature and human behavior with his Theories. He considered that a negative person comes under the Theory X in which employees dislike work, will avoid responsibilities generally are irresponsible, and require close supervision to do their jobs and must be punished, Positive persons comes under Theory Y in which employees enjoy, like to work, committed towards their work, creative, able to fulfill responsibilities, exercise self-control and self-direction in the search of organizational objectives, have a will to achieve targets without the threat of punishment. He grouped the hierarchy in to lower-order needs (Theory X) and higher-order needs (Theory Y); Abraham Maslow in 1943 had proposed that man’s needs are set in levels, with physical and safety needs at the bottom of the needs hierarchy and social, ego and self-actualization needs at upper levels of the hierarchy.
