I'm a social work student in Turkey. I don't know how I found you, but I'm glad I did. I'm studying with your videos for my management course. Thank you very much 😇
very useful! I am linking a lot of your TH-cam to the discussion group in a safety course I am taking. We look at human motivation and how safety theory came out of classical management theory.
Thank you so much. I've learned a lot form your video. I'm a Chinese student who is now studying in Japan but courses are teaching in English. I need these fundamental knowledge to support me and to better understand what teacher says at class. Thank you😄
I wish my professor would explain in common language like you. I can't tell he is explaining or just reading a book to us 😅 this video saves me a lot of time. If not, I might go crazy in a piles of books

Excellent channel, and by far the best and most accurate videos on the subject. Any chance you could take a look at theory Z by Ouchi in relation to this? Would also greatly appreciate a bit more focus on modern organizational theory when the time is right!
What leadership style will go with theory Y. Democratic leadership or laisezz-fair? I always wondered about it. 🌺 thanks for the videos. It helps a lot.
I think it could be either style. I don't think there's a tight alignment between X and Y and the 3 main styles of leadership. I think there's some overlap of Y for both Democratic and Laisezz-Faire.
important to acknowledge...if a manager wants to use "y" theory in the workplace, it is solely dependent on hr hiring people with personal goals that align with organizational goals. otherwise, the manager can't pair them up to inspire/motivate the worker. how many times have we seen hr hire people with values that are nowhere near company values? then they wonder how it didn't work out...then blame the manager.
I only put the most relevant references on the screen like when I quoted the 1957 reference that is on the screen (at the bottom for a while) as well as the 1960 book a little later in the video. But, clearly, all of these ideas are McGregor's and those two writings are solid and contain the ideas discussed here. But, no, I don't put a reference on every slide separately because the content is drawn from those works as well as just general textbook reading on McGregor.
I hear you, blueflamenco. I've had my share of Theory X managers myself. Thankfully, I have only had a few. I've been very fortunate to have some great supervisors over the years. The bad ones have made me appreciate the good ones.
The content of this video is profoundly flawed. Especially the conclusion. McGregor argued that Theory X people DO NOT EXIST, have never existed and will never exist. Theory X human nature is really a prejudice. A figment of our imagination. This video sadly obfuscates that important element of McGregors work. And thus comes to a horrific conclusion.

Thank you so much. You have linked mc gregor's theory with Abraham maslow's theory. I never though about linking these two theories.
Thanks for the encouragement. That was McGregor's idea. He wrote about that.

Right your comment and good your think
so it's not the managers fault? xd
Hi do you provide full referencing for you videos please
I only put the most relevant references on the screen like when I quoted the 1957 reference that is on the screen (at the bottom for a while) as well as the 1960 book a little later in the video. But, clearly, all of these ideas are McGregor's and those two writings are solid and contain the ideas discussed here.

Thanks. This was really helpfull
Glad it was helpful!
good lesson indeed for self study
I'm glad it was helpful, Keneilwe. Thank you for the encouragement.
Can i ask? Douglas McGregor he is alive? Because yesterday I received my email somebody's use this name. How come?
no he ded
Nice explain
Thanks a lottt sir
thank you
There is another theory aside form theory X,Y and I’m not talking about theory Z. This other theory I think it is something like Social Theory??
I can't tell what theory you might be thinking of. Sorry.
Thank u soo much
You're welcome!
🎉
Not influential enough as probably 7/8ths of the managers I've had in my life were total theory x idiots.
I hear you, blueflamenco. I've had my share of Theory X managers myself. Thankfully, I have only had a few. I've been very fortunate to have some great supervisors over the years. The bad ones have made me appreciate the good ones.
"Wondering jet 42"
Douglas McGregor looks like Tony McGregor the father of Conor McGregor
The absolute irony of talking about how most people’s potential is wasted in the context of corporate management…….
If ppl don't PAY to learn it ....how would it put food on the table.....
lower your intro volume because i always have to turn it down and then turn up to hear your voice properly, its annoying
The content of this video is profoundly flawed. Especially the conclusion.
McGregor argued that Theory X people DO NOT EXIST, have never existed and will never exist. Theory X human nature is really a prejudice. A figment of our imagination.
