Biography of Douglas McGregor

Management pioneer, Douglas Murray McGregor (1906 - 1964) was born in the bustling border metropolis of Detroit, Michigan just as it was emerging as the world's great Motor City. While he was at High School, McGregor worked as night clerk at the McGregor Institute and also played piano at its regular services. The Institute was very much a family affair; originally set up by his grandfather, it was now being managed by his uncle Tracy and father Murray to provide temporary accommodation for around 100 transient workers at a time.

At 17, McGregor briefly considered becoming a lay preacher, before choosing to enrol for a psychology degree at the College of the City of Detroit (now Wayne State University). After two years of the course he tried a term at Oberlin, his uncle's old college in Ohio.

In 1961, on his second day of classes in the University of Western Ontario’s Graduate School of Business Administration, a young Robert Cunningham bought The Human Side of Enterprise, by Douglas McGregor. The book became a classic and changed forever how organizations view and treat employees. The Human Side of Enterprise also had a powerful impact on Mr. Cunningham, who would graduate from Western with an MBA and go on to a successful career of more than 50 years in labour relations and human resources management in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. In this article, written to mark the 50th anniversary off his graduation from Western, and in recognition of Douglas McGregor’s great contribution, Mr. Cunningham describes the impact McGregor’s book had on him and organizational behaviour.

It is hard to believe that fifty years ago, in September 1961, I arrived at the Graduate School of Business Administration in London, Ontario to start my studies in the two-year MBA Program at Western. On my second day, I purchased a management book entitled, The Human S
