William Whyte's core idea in The Organization Man is that the
Protestant Ethic that characterized financial and personal success
in American history had been replaced in modern times by the Social
Ethic. This stressed the group as the source of creativity and
emphasized that the greatest need of the individual is to belong to
a group. To investigate this idea, Whyte spent years interviewing
the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies when he was an editor at Fortune
magazine, one of the top business publications in the United States
at the time. What he found was that the recruitment and training
were much more focused on "cultural fit" than on technical skill or
experience level. As the ranks of new junior executives grew in
post-World War II America, so did their impact on urban development
and consumer spending. Droves of "package suburbs" sprang up in the
fields surrounding major metropolitan areas, and a strong post-war
economy coupled with funding from the GI Bill made new homes, cars,
and household goods affordable for young families.
