Question 12
You are the project manager in your organization. Your project is part of a larger program led by Nan Gramble. Nan is a believer of McGregor's Theory of X and Y. Which of the following is an example of Theory X?
- A Earned value management
- B Micromanagement
- C Self-led project teams
- D Team members able to work on their own accord
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Theory X states that workers have an inherent dislike of work and will avoid it if possible. Micromanagement is a method used to make certain workers complete their work and is part of Theory X. Self-led project teams are part of Theory Y and are a good component for a project team. Team members able to work on their own accord are self-directed teams and are part of Theory Y. EVM is not directly related to McGregor's Theory of X and Y.Discussion
