Theory Y- Douglas McGregor:
Under the right conditions people accept and seek out responsibility.
Imagination, ingenuity, and creativity to solving problems is widely distributed in the population.
Modern industrial organizations use only a portion of the intellectual potential of the average human being.
Argued that work is natural, people do not inherently dislike it.
People will work at their own accord towards objectives.
People become committed to objectives that fulfill inner personal needs.
