Detailed explanation-1: -Theory X – people dislike work, have little ambition, and are unwilling to take responsibility. Managers with this assumption motivate their people using a rigid “carrot and stick” approach, which rewards good performance and punishes poor performance.
Detailed explanation-2: -Theory X managers are task-centered; so it will be a good idea to stick to facts and figures and give a very clear deadline on when the assigned task will be completed. Orient your discussions around how you can deliver the results and don’t bring emotions in your discussions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Definition: Theory X and theory Y are part of motivational theories. Both the theories, which are very different from each other, are used by managers to motivate their employees. Theory X gives importance to supervision, while theory Y stresses on rewards and recognition.
