McGregor Suggested That Theory X Was a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

McGregor suggested that Theory X was a self-fulfilling prophecy. This means that:

A) employees who are treated as though they are selfish and lazy will begin to conform to this expectation.
B) an effective manager should be able to anticipate how employees will react to a change in organizational policy.
C) employees will be motivated by harsh treatment from a boss.
D) managers should not concern themselves with the economic well-being of the organization, because they cannot influence outcomes such as revenue.
