Question

Managers who believe in Theory Y assume that workers dislike and avoid work if possible, so managers must use coercion, threats, and various control schemes to get workers to make adequate efforts to meet objectives. 1.True 2.False

Answer 1

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Douglas McGregor, the Theory Y method of management assumes that employees are generally happy with their jobs, that they experience fulfillment by carrying out their day-to-day activities. Therefore, the employees do not need to be forced, coerced, or threatened to work, because they are rewarded bu the results of their work.

Theory Y therefore assumes that control, rewards and punishments are not the only ways to stimulate people.

Theory Y organizations often give their workers the opportunities for frequent promotions.
