The Theory X and Theory Y management theory was developed by Douglas McGregor. According to McGregor, there are two types of managers;

• theory Y: this manager has a positive view of his employees. He is the direct opposite of theory X manager since he believes his employees are happy to work. In other words, he believes his employees are self-motivated.
