Managers who believe in theory y assume that workers dislike and avoid work if possible, so managers must use coercion, threats, and various control schemes to get workers to make adequate efforts to meet objectives

a. true
b. false

B False

Explanation:

Theory Y involves a participatory approach to management and managers are more understanding and forgiving. Managers here believe that the average human being does not inherently dislike work and that employees are self directed and controlled. Hence the need to resort to coercion and threat is uncalled for.
