They are willing to be responsible for their actions, and can work for themselves.

Managers who prefer Theory X usually micromanage their employees (close observation and control, at the cost of workers' freedom). Theory X is effective for helping and guiding new employees to get used to their job in the workplace, or for dealing with a crisis that could have adverse effects on your company's PR, and is at its most efficient for larger, target-driven teams.

Managers who prefer Theory Y usually take a hands-off approach. Theory Y is effective when managing more experienced employees, who work based off their own initiative., and is at its most efficient for flatter teams.

Managers who prefer Theory Z value a strong company philisophy and strive to give their company a healthy working culture. Theory Z is at its most efficient for employees who are 'generalist' - they have a greater responsibility in decision-making.

Theory X can be restrictive, and if used improperly can demotivate employees and cause a large staff turnover. Micromanagement can lead to a leader becoming overly controlling, and even manipulative.

Theory Y, while beneficial for the freedom of employees, can lead to them straying too far from their given objectives, and losing their overall focus. Those who are not motivated are more likely to using their given time to shirk working.

Theory Z has its limitations - not every organization and/or employee can make commitments to their employment, and decision-making focused on parcipiation can not be effective when workers are not willing to cooperate. ]]> 2022-03-24 14:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/juliandiloreto22/a6qq4y1llulwfwqn/wish/2111939550 juliandiloreto22 https://padlet.com/juliandiloreto22/a6qq4y1llulwfwqn/wish/2111942557 Theory X is much less common in the workplace today, due to its lack of encouraging innovation. ]]> 2022-03-24 14:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/juliandiloreto22/a6qq4y1llulwfwqn/wish/2111942557 juliandiloreto22 https://padlet.com/juliandiloreto22/a6qq4y1llulwfwqn/wish/2111943244 Theory Y is common in the workplace today, as more and more corporations are becoming decentralized. ]]> 2022-03-24 14:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/juliandiloreto22/a6qq4y1llulwfwqn/wish/2111943244 juliandiloreto22 https://padlet.com/juliandiloreto22/a6qq4y1llulwfwqn/wish/2111956108 In practise, Theory X IS NOT MORE EFFECTIVE THAN Theory Y, yet this also applies to the opposite - Theory Y IS NOT MORE EFFECTIVE THAN Theory X - Both theories actively negate each others' assumptions.]]> 2022-03-24 14:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/juliandiloreto22/a6qq4y1llulwfwqn/wish/2111956108 juliandiloreto22 https://padlet.com/juliandiloreto22/a6qq4y1llulwfwqn/wish/2111972508 In 1981, Japanese management professor William Ouchi published Theory Z: How American Management Can Meet the Japanese Challenge, which blended typical business management practices prominent in the western world with those commonly used in Japan.

Theory Z assumes that each employee seeks to build cooperative, sometimes intimate working relationships with their partners. Employees seek balance between work and daily life, and thus seek a workplace that heavily values family, culture and tradition. To them, working hard is a moral obligation, and should be trusted to do their job to their upmost ability.]]> 2022-03-24 14:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/juliandiloreto22/a6qq4y1llulwfwqn/wish/2111972508 juliandiloreto22 https://padlet.com/juliandiloreto22/a6qq4y1llulwfwqn/wish/2117309752 Juneja, Prachi. “Theory X and Theory Y.” Management Study Guide, www.managementstudyguide.com/theory-x-y-motivation.htm.
