Theory X and Theory Y

LE:02 : Theory X-Theory Y

Here comes the relationship between managers and employees,whch actually determines the fate of an organization. to simplify, lets consider X for lazy and Y for hardworking. now there may arise four cases.

Case 1: Theory X employees and Theory X manager:-
in this case, the workers have no enthusiasm to work and likewise the manager assumes that they are lazy and worthless. as a result, the company in which thy are working can never get the work done in time and the company suffers fom huge losses/debts and one day ultimately dissolvs, untill and unless there is a change in management and the company revisit their rules and regulations.

Case 2: Theory Y employees and Theory X manager:-
in this scenario, even if the employees have the interest and try to work their level-best, the manager neither have any innovative ideas nor have any high spirits. He doesnt feel that they can bring a change. He doesnt understand his employees,assigns work to them not of their interest and fails to give appraisals. Feeling suffocated the employees leave the organization in search of a better work culture. This is in fact the most dangerous scenario.


The theory from a managers perspective-

Case 3: Theory X employees and Theory Y manager:-
this is the case which is the most challenging one,where the real managerial activitis come into play. The manager,even if he has some theory X employees, feels still they have some potential , which actually made them get hired in the organization. he impregnates a belief that every employee is a part of the organizaton, every one has a prticular unique duty of his own and they are getting paid for their job. And it is a sin to shun his duty. He never fails to praise and applause his employees,understands their interests and accordingly gets the job done. And the employees in turn upon realising their true potential never failsMay be before deadline.

Case 4: theory Y employees and Theory Y manager:-
this is the easiest case. both the manager and employees are aware of their duty and performs to their level best. Such a company can rasily reach their targets. this scenario is most desired.

so....which one is you? :)
