Theory X and Theory Y

What de managers think of their staff? McGregor (1960) said there were
two opposing views, Theory X and Theory Y.

Theory X managers believe that people dislike work. Work is necessary

because if you do not work you cannot live. People are naturally lazy.
The prefer to be directed. So managers have to tell their subordinates
what to do. Managers have to organize the workers and pressure them
to do things. The manager’s job is to think about the goals of the
organization then make workers realize the goals. Subordinates want
security. They want managers to organize and control everything. So
theory X managers are authoritarian. Managers are the bosses. They
decide the goals and give orders. They direct everything, from the top
down.

Theory Y is more or less opposite to Theory X.

Theory Y managers believe that people like work. Work is necessary

because people want to work to feel happy. People are naturally
industrious. They prefer to participate in decision-making. Managers
discuss with their subordinates what to do. Managers organize
communication channels with the workers and listen to their opinions.
The manager’s job is to establish the goals of the organization with the
workers, so that together they can realize the goals. Subordinates want
managers to involve them, to delegate decisionmaking, to allow them
autonomy. Theory Y managers are team-oriented. They trust their
subordinates. The organization is less hierarchical and more creative.

conflict resolution skills. It is known that there can be a lot of
differences between colleagues, so a team manager should always
