Assertion (A) : Under theory 'Y' integration of behaviour is the key process in management.
Reason (R) : It results in condition conducive for members to achieve their own goals as well as organisational goals.

Answer the question using the codes given below :

  • A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  • B.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  • C.(A) is true but (R) is false
  • D.(A) is false but (R) is true

Answer: A

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Douglas McGregor wrote that the central principle derived from Theory Y is integration: creating conditions in which members of the organisation can achieve their own goals best by directing their efforts towards the success of the enterprise. So integration is the key process of management under Theory Y (A).

The reason (R) is McGregor's own definition of integration, the condition in which individual goals and organisational goals are achieved together. It is not just a true statement beside (A); it explains why integration is central. That rules out the options treating (R) as false or as unrelated.
