McGregor’s Assumptions
About People Based on Theory Y
Experiences in organizations result in passive and
resistant behaviors; they are not inherent
Motivation, development potential, capacity for
assuming responsibility, readiness to direct
behavior toward organizational goals are present
in people
Management’s task—arrange conditions and
operational methods so people can achieve their
own goals by directing efforts to organizational
goals
