We have some theory of motivation but we are going to explain only x and y at below. Mc gregor’s theory x and y theory were developed by Douglas McGregor. The two set of assumumption are made about the people work in organization.
Theory x
It is the traditional considering work and worker. It is a
rigid control oriented negative and pessimistic. The assumption are as follows:
1. Employees
dislike inherently and try to avoid it.
2. Employees
avoid responsibility and work us directed by the superiors
3. Employees
look for security as they lack ambition and initiation.
4. Employees
should be controlled and threatened to get the job done.
5. Employees avoid
decision making whenever possible etc.
Theory y
Unlike theory x, theory y is a new concept. It is a flexible
positive and optimistic. it tries on how to motivate the employees as explained
by theory x by making positive assumption such as:
1. Employees
do not inherently dislike work
2. Employees
don’t ambition creativity and motivation.
3. Employs accept
the reasonable charge
4. Employs are
ready for decision making whenever committed
5. Employs look
for higher order need also.
