MAN201 Organizational Behavior Assignment: Motivation Theory_2

Relevance of McGregor’s theory x and y in today's world3IntroductionTheory X and Theory Y represents two set of assumption related to human nature and behavior necessary to carry out an effective practice of management. Theory Y denotes the positive view of human nature and therefore assumes that an individual is generally industrious, creative and able to take responsibility in order to exercise responsibility and self control (TheoryX and Theory Y, 2018). Theory X therefore represents a negative view about an individual dislike towards work. They require close supervision towards work. Under theory X, the leadership style is autocratic in nature which may create resistance in subordinates. Communication flow take place from manager to the subordinates. Theory Y fosters leadership style that is more participative (Lawter, Kopelman & Prottas, 2015). This empowers the subordinates to seek responsibility in order to meet organizational goals. The theory Y leadership therefore helps in increasing communication flow in upward direction. Theory X is more likely to result in the external control where the managers act as a performance judge. Theory Y is more focused on controlling on the subordinates. Both the theories are straight-forward and clearly demonstrates the relationship in between the assumptions taken by manager (Theory X and Theory Y, 2018). These two theories are parallel with Abrahams Maslow’s Hierarchy of need. Theory Y is found to be extreme and did not work well. It is found that people are mature enough to work independently without any interference. Theory Y is criticized as it was found inhuman to the weak and for those who are not capable of a high level of self-motivation (Van Wart, 2014).
