TVLL 011: Theory X and Theory Y | McGregor

TVLL 011: Theory X and Theory Y | McGregor


Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXAzZRnJo2o

This video discusses McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y - not to be confused with Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory (TVLL 010). McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y describe how beliefs about employee motivation can lead to certain supervisory behaviors.

Do you identify more with theory X or theory Y? Does your organizational culture tend more towards the assumption that employees behave more like the theory X or theory Y examples? Have you observed controlling practices within your organization? Have you observed resistive counterforces resulting from controlling practices within your organization? What effect might this have on productivity and profitability? How can you better meet the higher-level needs of your workforce?
