Explanation:

Theory X: In psychology, the term "theory x" was proposed by a social psychologist named Douglas McGregor during the 1950s and 1960s. However, he has also mentioned, "theory y" along with the "theory x" that are being described as two contrasting and different sets of assumptions that a manager tends to make about his or her people.
