D
Douglas McGregor's (1960) theory Y espoused that leaders must remove work obstacles and barriers while workers have self-discipline and self-control in their work and the reward is the opportunity to be involved in their work and be creative. Ouchi's (1981) theory Z focuses primarily upon collective decision making, long-term employment, and a holistic concern. Herzberg's (1968) two-factor theory is based on hygiene maintenance factors such as adequate salary and job security as well as motivation factors to maintain a satisfied work force. Maslow's (1970) hierarchy of needs is based upon a series of human needs ranging from physiological to self-actualization to describe human behavior.
