Question

Managers who subscribe to ____________ believe that people are naturally lazy and uncooperative and must therefore be either punished or rewarded to be made productive.

Answer 1

Manager who subscribe to Theory X believe that people are naturally lazy and uncooperative and therefore must either be rewarded or punished to be made productive to achieve the target.

Theory X and theory y are two theories of human motivation and management created by Douglas McGregor based on the works of Abraham Maslow and demonstrate opposing models of workforce motivation.  Theory X works on the assumption that the typical worker is unambitious, selfish, uncooperative and avoids responsibility, unintelligent, lazy, and that their main motivation is a steady income.

Managers who employ these assumptions tend to use a reward/punishment system as a motivator and expect increased efficiency with a hands-on approach. Under this type of management, individuals are more likely to directly receive a negative or positive outcome and are considered to be most effective in a workforce with low-performance motivation. A workplace that involves assembly lines or manual labor is ideal for this managerial style.
