1.What are the important limitations of McGregor's Theory X Theory Y?

Theory x

• inherently lazy by nature.

due to there miner or no motivation,they desire to work as little as possible and dislike the work and will like to avoid it, if they can.

• naturally Conservative.

Favoring traditional views and values and the tend to resist or oppose change.

• self-centered and indifferent to organizational needs.

• they lack ambition which may possibly led to irresponsibility and also lack creativity in solving organizational problems.

• only motivated by their physiological and safety needs, and are indifferent to the needs of the organization they work for.

    Theory y

• Higher levels of trust; between the employer and employee,they believe that most of the people are high performers in a proper work environment and this is because most of the people are creative and committed to meeting the needs of the organization they work for.

• can be self-directed and creative at work if they are motivated properly.

• willing to accept responsibility.

• Work is as natural as play, provided the work environment is favorable. Work may act as a source of satisfaction or punishment.

• believe in more freedom in order to  have the capacity to exercise imagination and creativity  for opportunity and career growth.

     Therefore;given the same team and same work environment, a Theory Y team is likely to perform better and deliver better quality work product than Theory X simply because, People hate authority and in most cases rebel.

2.What are the important limitations Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?

      According to Maslow, human behavior is related to his needs. It is adjusted as per the nature of needs    to be satisfied. when one set of needs is satisfied, it ceases to be a motivating factor.therefore,it is essential to note that not all employees are governed by same set of needs. Different individuals may be driven by different needs at same point of time. It is always the most powerful unsatisfied need that motivates an individual. At the lowest level, there will be first set of needs which can be described as basic needs and are universal in character. This will be followed by other sets of needs.
