As a Theory Y manager, the supervisor assumes that the employee will be internally motivated, wants to do the job, allows freedom to do the job as the employee believes it should be done, and supports efforts to self-direct. However, the supervisor would not monitor the employee's work closely for signs of "slacking off" since that behavior assumes an underlying belief in Theory X management.
