Questions: Mana realizes one of the department's supervisors has a Theory-X view of his employees. Which of the following is not likely true about the department lead? Multiple Choice maintains closer supervision of employees promotes specialization amongst members of the group has limited concem for employee welfare assumes workers will seek out responsibility to satisfy social needs All of the statements are likely true of the supervisor.

The answer is "assumes workers will seek out responsibility to satisfy social needs."

This is likely true for a Theory-X supervisor. Theory X, proposed by Douglas McGregor, suggests that managers believe employees inherently dislike work and must be closely supervised and controlled.

This is also likely true. A Theory-X manager might promote specialization to ensure tasks are completed efficiently and to maintain control over the work process.

This aligns with Theory X, as such managers often prioritize productivity over employee welfare, assuming that employees are primarily motivated by financial rewards.

This is not likely true for a Theory-X supervisor. Theory X assumes that employees avoid responsibility and need to be directed, which contrasts with the idea that they would seek out responsibility to satisfy social needs.

This is incorrect because option 4 is not consistent with Theory X assumptions.
