Theory "X" and Theory "y"

-Douglas McGregor

Douglas McGregor’s X and Y Theory

The theory of McGregor contributes to the idea of leadership. Known as Theory X and Y Theory. He stressed that managers tend to hold two opposite sets of assumptions regarding the nature of people at work and that these assumptions correspondingly lead to different styles of management and leadership.

Hereunder is the McGregor’s theory table

Theory Y Assumptions

Theory X Assumptions

1. The expenditure of lazy, physical and mental effort is as possible natural play or rest. 2. Man will exercise self- direction and selfcontrol in service of objectives to which he is committed 3. Committed to centered and a function of rewards, and the most significant of these, e.g., satisfaction of ego and selfactualization needs can follow from the pursuit of organizational objectives. 4. The average person under proper conditions not only to accept but also seek responsibility 5. The capacity to exercise relatively high degree of imagination, creativity and ingenuity in solution of organizational problems is widely, not narrowly distributed in the population. 6. Under current organizational conditions, the intellectual potential of the average human beings is only partially utilized.

1. The average man is by nature he works as little as 2. He lacks ambition, dislikes responsibility, and prefers to be led. 3. He is inherently self-indifferent to objectives is organizational needs. 4. He is by nature resistant to change. 5. He is gullible, not very bright and easily duped by charlatan or demagogue

McGregor asserted that of the two. Theory X represented the more widely held assumptions about people organizations, and that these assumptions guided not only styles of supervision but such thing as organizational structures, procedures, and programs in organizational as well. Theory X tended to produce strict and controlling types of supervision whereas Theory Y tended to be associated with more developmental and participative supervisory styles. McGregor further considered these assumptions about people to be self-fulfilling’s in the sense that they led to practices which would tend to produce the very behaviors among those managed which would confirm either set of assumptions. As McGregor did him preferred Theory Y approaches..
