Abstract
Each year, a group of JABS senior editors selects the best article published in the journal in the past year to receive the Douglas McGregor award. Douglas McGregor, a founder of the field of organization development, is best known for his work on “Theory X and Theory Y” about the nature of beliefs that leaders hold regarding employee attitudes toward work which appeared in his book, The Human Side of Enterprise. In keeping with McGregor’s legacy, these articles represent the a blend of practical scholarship and scholarly practice.
This year the award was judged by the JABS Advisory Board (Chair: Tom Cummings. Jean Bartunek, Ron Fry, David Grant, Rami Shani, Julie Wolfram Cox, Dick Woodman).
