Wait, is it Theory X or Y? I keep mixing them up, but I think X is the one that sees workers negatively.

I think this is related to McGregor's Theory X, which suggests that managers assume workers are inherently lazy.

Okay, I think I've got it. Theory X is the one that assumes workers are inherently lazy and need to be closely managed, while Theory Y sees them as self-motivated. So the answer here is D, Theory X. Glad I double-checked my understanding.

Easy, this is definitely Theory X. McGregor proposed that view of workers as naturally unmotivated, and that's what the question is describing. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. I know it has to do with McGregor's views on worker motivation, but I can't quite recall which theory aligns with the "lazy worker" perspective. Let me think this through step-by-step.
