Assignment:
ARE YOU THEORY X OR Y?
This discussion looks at how managers view human nature and the related tendency to affect how they supervise other people. After you take the manager survey, post your answers to the following in the discussion thread. There are four simple questions:
• What is the management style at the workplace you assessed?
• How do you prefer to be managed?
• Is there a conflict between your preference and the way you are managed?
• Can you name a work environment where a Theory X style is still appropriate?
