Abstract

Personality is at the center of sociology, psychology, pedagogy and modern ethics. The interest in personality is caused by several objectives, the main one being production. Knowing the personality is the premise of effective management of her work. It is well known that people resemble each other, but at the same time they differ, they resemble some common traits and are distinguished by a series of particular attributes that give each of us a specific note. Managerial psychology can be used to predict and prevent harmful psychological patterns within the workplace and can also be implemented to control psychological patterns among individuals and groups in a way that will benefit the organisation long term. Douglas McGregor, an American social psychologist, proposed his famous X-Y theory in his 1960 book 'The Human Side Of Enterprise'. Theory x and theory y are still referred to commonly in the field of management and motivation. McGregor's ideas suggest that there are two fundamental approaches to managing people. Many managers tend towards theory x, and generally get poor results. Enlightened managers use theory y, which produces better performance and results, and allows people to grow and develop.
