Frederick Herzberg (born 1923) is considered the father of job enrichment and one of the major management philosophers of our time. After receiving his B.S. from City College of New York in 1946, he moved on to the University of Pittsburgh, where he was awarded an M.S. in Clinical and Industrial Psychology in 1949, with his Ph.D. following a year later. He was the research director for Psychological Services of Pittsburgh from 1951 to 1957. In 1957, he became a professor of psychology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. During this time he also served as director of the graduate program in industrial mental health. Herzberg's books have included Job Attitudes: Research and Opinion (1957), The Motivation to Work (1959), and Work and the Nature of Man (1966). In 1972, Herzberg went to the University of Utah as distinguished professor of management in the college of business. In addition to teaching and writing, Herzberg spent the next twenty years consulting with government and industry leaders throughout the world.
