‫A clear comparison of Theory X and Theory Y is best done in the following five categories motivation,

‫management, style and control, work, organization rewards and appraisals and applications.

‫So let's examine each of these categories individually.

‫Motivation theory X assumes that people dislike work, they want to avoid it and don't want to take

‫responsibility, theory y assumes that people are self-motivated and thrive on responsibility.

‫Management style and control in a theory X organization, management is authoritarian and centralized

‫control is retained, while in theory why the management style is participative.

‫Management involves employees in decision making but retains power to implement decisions.

‫Work organization theory.

‫Ex employees tend to have specialized and often repetitive work.

‫In theory, why the work tends to be organized around wider areas of skill or knowledge, and employees

‫are encouraged to develop their expertise and make suggestions and improvements.

‫Rewards and appraisals theory X organizations work on a carrot and stick basis, and performance appraisal

‫is part of the overall mechanism of control and remuneration.

‫In other words, compensation.

‫In theory, y organizations appraisal is also regular and important, but is usually a separate mechanism

‫from organizational controls.

‫Theory y.

‫Organizations also give employees frequent opportunities for promotion application.

‫Although the theory X management style is widely accepted as inferior to others, it has its place in

‫large scale production operation and unskilled production line work.

‫Think of those automotive production lines that you see at Ford or GM.

‫There is no room for error or creativity when you're on an assembly line.

‫Many of the principles of Y theory are widely adopted by the type of organization that values and encourages

‫participation theory.

‫Y style management is suited to knowledge, work and professional services.

‫Professional service organizations naturally evolve theory y type practices by the nature of their work.

‫Even some highly structured knowledge work such as call center operations, can benefit from its principles

‫to encourage knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.
