knowledge, so the managers are encouraged to develop expertise and make suggestions and improvements.
Hi Matt,
Thank you for sharing your idea. However, which theory would you like to be involved? And I do not agree with you that the Air Force or Aviation and Special Operations units are more populated with theory Y. Have you been in the Air Force? Everything has both sides. I do not negate that every work organization have these both Theory X and Y or some managers will use mix of both theories. However, I
have seen more Theory Y managers in my entire career. In my opinion, if we have a mix both theory X and Y managers, we will be successful.
Hi Holmes,
Thank you for sharing your post. I do not agree with you that there is only theory X management
in the military. Since most of the military is task-oriented, they would be considered Theory X, but there are Y type managers in the military. X type somehow always creates negative effect such as mentally and will make those organizations to lose good employees. In my opinion, mixing both X and Y type will be perfect, and this mix type will develop the organization. And depending on what situation, the managers will apply X type or Y type to solve those problems.
