The idea of ​​McGregor's motivation theory was developed by social psychologist Douglas McGregor.  It describes two opposite sets of ideas that managers have about their people: Theory X - People dislike work, have high ambitions and are not interested in taking responsibility.  Theo Y says people want to be self-managed and will try to achieve goals that they believe in.

  McGregor's motivation theory based on management philosophy is discussed below:

  Philosophy 01: Labor is seen as a technical component of production.  These are considered products and can be bought and sold.  These are considered cogs in the machine.  They can be hired and fired at will.

  Assumption: In order to achieve the goals of the company, the employee has to be controlled and supervised by the management.  Employees have limited possibilities.

  Philosophy 02: Labor has been seen as a human element with many positive possibilities.  People are resources - not expenses.  Human investment is very rewarding.  To achieve common goals, management must develop and use human talent.

  Assumption: Employees must be treated with respect and dignity because they are the source of competitive advantage
