DOUGLAS MC GREGORY'S THEORY
THEORY X
•
WORK IS INHERENTLY
DISTASTEFUL TO MOST PEOPLE.
•
MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT
AMBITIOUS, HAVE LITTLE DESIRE
FOR RESPONSIBILITY, & PREFER
TO BE DIRECTED.
•
MOST PEOPLE HAVE LITTLE
CAPACITY FOR CREATIVITY IN
SOLVING ORGANIZATIONAL
PROBLEMS.
•
MOTIVATION OCCURS ONLY AT
THE PHYSIOLOGICAL & SAFETY
LEVELS.
•
MOST PEOPLE MUST BE CLOSELY
CONTROLLED & OFTEN COERCED
TO ACHIEVE ORGANIZATIONAL
OBJECTIVES.
THEORY
•
WORK IS AS NATURAL AS PLAY. IF
THE CONDITIONS ARE FAVOURABLE.
• SELF – CONTROL IS OFTEN
INDISPENSABLE IN ACHIEVING
ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS.
•
THE CAPACITY FOR CREATIVITY IN
SOLVING ORGANIZATIONAL
PROBLEMS IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED
IN THE POPULATION.
•
MOTIVATION OCCURS AT THE
SOCIAL, ESTEEM AND SELF –
ACTUALIZATION LEVELS, AS WELL
AS PHYSIOLOGICAL AND SECURITY
LEVELS.
•
PEOPLE CAN BE SELF – DIRECTED
AND CREATIVE AT WORK IF
PROPERLY MOTIVATED.
