In The Human Side of Enterprise, Douglas McGregor (1960) defined two sets of assumptions about human nature and explained how these affect people's attempts to influence the behavior of others, especially how they affect managers' attitudes toward employees.
Theory X Assumptions:By, Menaka Jayananda
(y * x) - y = y * (x - 1)
you subtract x from both sides for both equations to get it in y= form. so... x+y=5 x+y-x=5-x y=5-x x+y=6 x+y-x=6-x y=6-x thanks:D but i meant with absolute value signs it was supposed to look like this : |x+y|=5 and |x|+|y|=6 ... but when i typed it in answers.com changed it
Twice the sum of 'x' and 'y' . . . 2(x+y) The sum of twice 'x' and 'y' . . . (2x+y)
given: x - 4 = -y or, -y = x - 4 or, y = -(x - 4) or y = -x + 4 or y = 4 - x i.e. for x > 4, the equation x - 4 = -y is true.
If y varies directly as x and y is 18 when x is 24, then y is always three fourths of x. So if y is 15, then x is 20.
Theory X Y is theories that help managers to better understand the behaviors of the employees.
I*I = x*x + y*y + z*z - t*t
example of theory X is the toyota company example of theory Y is Google company Ashraf
x= people are lazy and must be motivated and closely supervised Y= people want to do a good job, try to avoid doing things thad kill that motivation. A theory X manager with theory Y subordinates will soon beat the motivation out of them, thus proving to himself that he was right all along. A theory Y manager will eventually figure out that a theory X subordinate thinks all people are lazy because that subordinate is lazy himself. Thus, teams are best structured with all X of all Y types. The Y teams will consistently outperform the X teams.
x assumes employees are unmotivated etc and have to be handled with severity like prison inmates Y assumes employees want to be productive, helpful and creative and can be managed to maximize these efforts. A theory X manager will soon beat the motivation out of a theory Y worker, thus proving to himself that X was right all along. A theory Y manager will eventually figure out that a theory X worker believes people are unmotivated because the worker himself is unmotivated. Thus, it is better for work teams to be all X or all Y. Given that, the Y teams will out produce the X teams.
One criticism of McGregor's Theory X is that it creates diseconomies of scale in large applications. One criticism of McGregor's Theory Y is that it may not be possible for the superior-subordinate relationship to flower organically.
The McGregor's theory x implies that workers need close supervision because they are not self motivated by nature. The theory y implies that there is no need for close supervision because employees can generally motivate themselves to meet targets.
Theory X is a group of ideas created by Douglas McGreggor in the 1960's. It deals with human motivations. He also discussed theory
The assumption that Theory X and Theory Y about workers influences management styles. The assumptions of these two theories differ from employee motivation as well as satisfying employees' needs.
McGregor's Theory X posits that employees inherently dislike work, avoid responsibility, and need to be closely monitored and controlled. On the other hand, Theory Y suggests that employees are motivated, enjoy work, seek out responsibility, and can be creative when given the opportunity. Theory X is more pessimistic and traditional, while Theory Y is more positive and modern in its approach to managing employees.
equals(x,y)=1 if x=y =0 otherwise show that this function is primitive recursive
douglas Mc Gregor's ideas about the assumption that in managing other were explored . these assumption McGregor referred to as theory X and theory Y IN THEORY X manager believe that their employees are basically lazy , need constant supervision and direction and that are indifferent to organization need IN THEORY Y manager believe that workers enjoy their work , are self - motivated , that are willing to work hard to meet person and organization goals BY jamesbenja19@yahoo.com at TANZANIA
