"The Organization Man" is a book written by William H. Whyte Jr. in 1956. It explores the rise of corporate culture in America and how it affects individual identity and values. Whyte argues that many people have become overly conformist, prioritizing the needs of their organizations over personal aspirations and beliefs. The book highlights the shift from a focus on individualism to a collective mindset, where loyalty to the organization often supersedes personal goals. Whyte's observations reflect broader societal changes during the post-World War II era, emphasizing the impact of suburbanization and the growth of large corporations on American life.
