McGregors Theory of X and Y is simplified below.
His assumptions were divided into two theory:
Theory X and Theory Y.

           The assumptions of thoery X are:

Most employes dislike work and will avoid it as much

Manager need to threaten,punish and use force to get the job done

Most people need to be directed,avoid responsibility and have low ambition

Employe are motivated by fear and money

       And assumptions of theory Y are:

Employes like to work

People enjoy working toward goal

Commitment to goals increases by giving rewards

Most employee seek responsibility

These are the approaches that managers take. Theory Y should be taken in practise in order to influence employee and have ownership as a manager. This can be applied in any work.
