Theory X managers tend to take a pessimistic view of their people, and assume that they are naturally unmotivated and dislike work. As a result, they think that team members need to be prompted, rewarded or punished constantly to make sure that they complete their tasks.

This style of management workers that’s are :-

  • Have no incentive to work or ambition, and therefore need to be enticed by rewards to achieve goals.
  • Have to be controlled, forced and threatened to deliver work.
  • Need to be supervised at every step.

Theory Y managers have an optimistic, positive opinion of their people, and they use a decentralized, participative management style. This encourages a more collaborative, trust-based relationship between managers and their team members.

This style of management  that’s  workers are:-

  • More involved in decision making.
  • Self-motivated to complete their tasks.

·         Seek and accept responsibility, and need little direction.
