    THEORIES OF MOTIVATION
·         ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOUR/MPOB
  • MCGREGOR’S THEORY X AND THEORY Y
1.     THEORY X AND THEORY Y BASED ON TWO DISTINCT VIEWS OF HUMAN BEINGS
2.     THEORY X DEALS WITH ONE EXTREME BASED ON ONE SET OF ASSUMPTIONS  AND BASED ON TRADITIONAL APPROACH TPOBEHAVIOUR
3.     THEORY Y DEALS WITH ANOTHER EXTREME BASED ON ANOTHER ASSUMPTION

5.     INTUITIVE DEDUCTIONS

  • THEORY X
  • ASSUMPTIONS :
1.     THE AVERAGE HUMAN BEING INHERENTLY DISLIKE WORK AND WILL TRY TO AVOID IT WHENEVER POSSIBLE
2.     AS THE EMPLOYEES ARE LAZY,THEY MUST BE CONTROLLED,COERCED,THREATENED WITH PUNISHMENT TO ACHIEVE GOALS TO WHICH THEY ARE DIFFERENT
3.     AVERAGE EMPLOYEES WILL TRY TO AVOID RESPONSIBILITY AND SEEK FORMAL DIRECTIONS WHENEVER POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE RELATIVELY LITTLE AMBITION
4.     MOST WORKERS PLACE SECURITY ABOVE ALL OTHER FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH WORK
  • MOTIVATIONAL ASPECTS OF THEORY X

2.     MANAGERS HAVE TO MOTIVATE THEIR SUBORDINATES THROUGH NEGATIVE MOTIVATIONAL TECHNIQUES LIKE COERCION,PUNISHMENT,THREATENING AND CONTROLLING.
3.     MANAGERS WHO ADVOCATE THESE VIEW FEEL THAT EXTREME CONTROLS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO DEAL WITH IRRESPONSIBLE AND IMMATURE EMPLOYEES. AUTOCRATIC STYLE OF LEADERSHIP
4.     THEORY X ASSUMPTIONS ARE APPLICABLE IN GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC SECTORS WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT BASICALLY TRUSTED
