Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Theory Y assumes that people like work and are self-motivated, which means they don't need to be coerced, threatened or punished in order to produce results. It assumes that people are internally motivated to achieve their goals and to meet the expectations set for them. However, Theory Y also recognizes that people seek responsibility and are capable of fulfilling it when given the necessary resources and support. Therefore, Choice E (A & B only) is the best option.
