Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Douglas McGregor described Theory X and Theory Y as two contrasting managerial attitudes towards employees. Theory X assumes that employees are lazy, dislike work, and need to be controlled and coerced to perform effectively, while Theory Y assumes that employees are self-motivated, seek responsibility, and can be trusted to perform well if given opportunities and support. This dichotomy continues to influence management theory and practice today.
