	Excerpt from Douglas McGregor, Revisited: Managing the Human Side of the Enterprise - Leadershop@LeadershipNow.com
		Douglas McGregor would love to have lived today, for the old saying that necessity is the mother of invention rings true.
		In his work, McGregor anticipated such a shift in working conditions--not necessarily because he was so technologically prescient, but because he recognized that as the world became more complex, the importance of releasing human potential at every level of the organization would emerge as the most appropriate working model.
		While Douglas McGregor spoke often about the need for managers to examine their operating theories, his ultimate goal was for these theories to manifest themselves as new working models.

	ScienceDaily: Tiny Wafer Developed By K-State Professor; Detects Neutron Signals From Hidden Nuclear Weapons, Materials
		When neutrons strike and are absorbed by the coatings, McGregor said they undergo an immediate reaction, ejecting charged particles and leaving a trail of ionization within the detector, a signature easily discernable by the detector as a neutron-induced event.
		McGregor said the process of detecting weapons is a two-fold problem: Weapons monitoring in other countries and weapons monitoring in the United States.
		McGregor said that although the tiny neutron detectors are still in the research phase and there are other neutron detectors that are more efficient, McGregor said those other detectors are larger and require far more voltage to operate.

		McGregor taught at the School of Industrial Management at M. He was, like Homans and Likert, from the "Human Relations School," which emphasized social behavior, rather than efficiency of workers.
		In this book McGregor presented his famous Theory X (i.e., Scientific Management) and Theory Y (e.g., Human Relations), presenting the benefits of the latter and the evils of the former.
		In the end they postulated that organizations are psychologically linked and organisms are physiologically linked and, hence, that organizations are loosely coupled (change in certain areas don't necessarily mean changes in others), while organisms are tightly coupled.

		McGregor theorizes that management views an employeeand#8217;s motivation toward work in two distinct waysand#8212;Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X managers believe the following: (1) The average worker naturally does not like work and will avoid it whenever possible.
		The theory McGregor believes will best stimulate employee motivation toward accomplishing organizational goals is Theory Y. The goal of Theory Y is to provide employees ways to attain the higher levels of Maslowand#8217;s Hierarchy of Needs (esteem (ego) and self-actualization (-fulfillment)) so that the establishment may prosper.
		McGregor thinks that most organizations today already fulfill the lower needs of employees (physiological, safety, and love (social)) and therefore should concentrate on the higher needs of individuals.

		These observations by McGregor explain why it is no coincidence that, year after year, the companies rated "the best to work for" are the same companies which dominate their respective industries, the same companies which have the greatest market value.
		McGregor's ideas reach much farther than I realized, and the authors are virtuosos at explaining the real profundity in the Human Side of Enterprise.
		But even if McGregor is not the last word on management, all future thinkers will have to grapple with the ideas and the questions (so many!) that he put forth.

	Curious Cat Management Improvement Connections - Douglas McGregor Biography
		According to McGregor, most managers tend to subscribe to Theory X, in that they take a rather pessimistic view of their employees.
		A Theory X manager believes that his or her employees do not really want to work, that they would rather avoid responsibility and that it is the manager's job to structure the work and energize the employee.
		More recent studies have questioned the rigidity of the model, but McGregor's X-Y Theory remains a guiding principle of positive approaches to management, to organizational development, and to improving organizational culture.
