Discussion Questions - Question 2


II. Identify the motivation problems of Group B and indicate which theory you are using.

By referring to Douglas Mc Gregor theory of motivation, Group B belongs to Theory Y.

Theory Y is based on modern or progressive or professional approach. Here, the assumptions about people e.g. employees are quite different:
  • Work is as natural as play, provided the work environment is favorable.
  • People can be self directed and creative at work if they are motivated properly.
  • People have capacity to exercise imagination and creativity.
  • People are not by nature passive or resistant to organizational needs. They have become so as a result of experience in organizations.
  • An average human beings under proper conditions. He is also willing to accept responsibility.
  • The intellectual capacity of an average human being is utilized partially under the conditions of modern industrial life.
