Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: McGregor has given the Z Theory of Managerial Behaviour.
Reason R: According to Theory Z, management tends to promote stable employment, high productivity and high employee morale and satisfaction.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
• C. A is correct but R is not correct
• D. A is not correct but R is correct

Hint:

McGregor proposed Theory X and Theory Y, while William Ouchi proposed Theory Z.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
Different management theorists have proposed various theories related to employee behaviour and organizational management.

Step 1: Examine Assertion A. Assertion A states that: \[ \text{McGregor gave Theory Z} \] This statement is incorrect. Douglas McGregor is known for: \[ \text{Theory X and Theory Y} \] of managerial behaviour. Theory Z was developed by: \[ \text{William Ouchi} \] Therefore, Assertion A is false.

Step 2: Examine Reason R. Theory Z emphasizes:
• Stable employment
• Employee participation
• High productivity
• Employee satisfaction
• Strong organizational culture Hence, Reason R is correct.

Step 3: Determine the correct relationship. Since:
• Assertion A is incorrect
• Reason R is correct the correct option is: \[ \text{A is not correct but R is correct} \]

Step 4: Conclusion. Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{A is not correct but R is correct}} \]
