Marco Krause · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

Executives under theory X appear to hold a negative perception of their employees, and believe they are inherently unconfident and hate work. As a consequence, they feel that staff mates have to be continuously pressured, praised or disciplined to ensure they accomplish their assignments.

The X methodology to analysis appears to have many divisions of managers and executives to supervise and direct staff. Power is never delegated, thus authority is often strongly centralised. Managers become more hierarchical and work aggressively to make things happen.
