Management Principles
1. Under what circumstances would a theory x leadership style be more appropriate than theory y?
This style would be more appropriate in a smaller business or maybe a family owned business where the workers aren't making that much money and they don't feel they are an important part of the company. Like for instance a factory worker making minimum wage or a server at McDonalds. These types of people probably only do the minimum and their only motivation is to not get fired. In this case theory x leadership is appropriate.
2. When would theory y be more appropriate?
