Theory X managers generally do not view people as seeking out potential for advancement, but rather as being inherently lazy and needing to be motivated through external means such as threats or coercion. The other options - viewing workers as having a dislike for work, responsibility, and needing to be threatened or coerced in order to be productive - are all typical behaviours exhibited by Theory X managers. The option about being motivated solely by financial rewards is not always true for Theory X managers, as they may also use punishment or the threat of punishment as a motivator.
