After graduating with a marketing degree, Andrew Smith was hired by a well-known public relations (PR) firm offering the opportunity to do PR work for large and small companies. According to Theory Y, Andrew's supervisor would expect him to a. avoid working too hard. b. ask how early he can leave each day. c. spend most of his time reviewing the company's early retirement package. d. seek to generate clientele and contacts for present and future public relations assignments. e. delegate most of his work to others.

The answer is D.

Explanation:

The theory Y as postulated by Douglas McGregor is based on the assumption that employees/workers are happy, fulfilled, and motivated to work, and they will take on additional duties without being prompted to.

In the scenario presented above, we can conclude that Andrew Smith's supervisor will expect him to be self motivated to do his job well, and go in search of clients on his own without being forced to. This is based on the assumption that Andrew Smith is fulfilled and happy with his job.

D.

Explanation:

Theory Y is one of the theories of human work motivation. In theory Y, a manager is expected to provide a good work environment that allows an employee to independently perform his duties. It encourages an employee to take initiatives and self direction.

In compliance to this, Andrew's supervisor would expect him to seek to generate clientele and contacts for present and future public relation assignments.
