McGregor's theory 'Y' is related with :
Answer: C
Theory Y is about people being self-directed and self-controlled at the work place.
Douglas McGregor's The Human Side of Enterprise (1960) contrasted two sets of assumptions managers make about workers. Theory Y assumes that work is as natural as play, that people will exercise self-direction and self-control towards objectives they are committed to, seek responsibility and show creativity when given the chance.
Disliking work, lacking creativity and being self-centred are the pessimistic assumptions of Theory X, which holds that people avoid work and must be directed and controlled. So the other three options describe Theory X, not Theory Y.
