Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Douglas McGregor's theory, there are two types of managers: Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X managers believe that employees are inherently lazy, avoid responsibility, and need to be micromanaged to achieve goals. Theory Y managers, on the other hand, believe that employees are self-motivated, enjoy their work, and can be trusted to work independently. Since Hannah believes in her employees' self-direction, self-control, and commitment, she can be described as a Theory Y manager.
