Maslow on McGregor’s Theories
Only one of the statements below is true. Which is it?
a. Maslow recommended that all organisations should
apply Theory Y in order to allow workers to achieve self-
actualisation.
b. Maslow concluded that Theory Y could not be applied
to everyone as some workers need the security of being
told what to do and they don't always want responsibility.
c. Maslow said he believed that Theory X was a more
practical approach to management as it fulfilled workers'
basic needs.
