Theory X & Theory Y.Are Theories of human work motivation and management. Created by Douglas McGregor and this theory refers to two styles of management: Authoritarian(theory X) andParticipative(Theory Y).According to McGregor “If you believe that your team members dislike their work and have little motivation, then, you'll likely use an authoritarian style of management”. McGregor called this Theory X. On the other hand, McGregor says “if you believe that your people take pride in their work and see it as achallenge, then you'll more likely adopt a participative management style. Managers who use this approach trust their people to take ownership of their work and do it effectively by themselves”.McGregor called this Theory Y.
