Theory T — theory L: the principles of participative management applied to the training function

Abstract

managing the human resource To the probably chagrin of many Scots the name McGregor will, for lots of us, be associated, not with a Scottish clan, but with a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who, in 1960, published a book entitled THE HUMAN SIDE OF ENTERPRISE. In it he set out to substantiate a thesis he had put forward three years earlier in an article carrying the same title. His thesis was that the theoretical assumptions management holds about controlling its human resources determine the whole character of the enterprise.
