- 🌟 Dive deep into the world of motivation with our latest video led by EduHubSpot's lead mentor, Gautham Sudakar! 🌟
🔍 As a project manager and PMP aspirant you need to understand both the theories. Your PMP exam will have scenario-based questions on these theories. Once you understand the concept with a practical example, it would be much easier to solve. In this enlightening session, Gautham explores two fundamental theories -
1. Theory X and Theory Y by Douglas McGregor.
2. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
Theory X managers believe team members dislike their work, avoid responsibility, and need constant direction. Gautham illustrates this approach with a practical example that brings the theory to life.
🌈 On the flip side, Theory Y managers assume their team members enjoy their work, take ownership, and only need a little guidance. Gautham shares another practical example to demonstrate how this theory can be applied effectively.
🔄 But wait, it's not a one-size-fits-all situation! Gautham emphasizes that project managers can switch between Theory X and Theory Y based on the team's needs. Discover how to keep your team motivated with rewards, recognition, or the right managerial approach tailored to the task at hand.
🏆 Next on the agenda is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Gautham breaks down the stages - Physiological, Safety, Belonging, Esteem, and Self-Actualization - and relates them to real-world scenarios. Understand how fulfilling these needs can lead to a motivated and engaged team.
💡 Challenge yourself with Gautham's scenario-based questions applying Theory X and Theory Y. Share your answers in the comments, and Gautham will personally respond, providing valuable insights and feedback. It's an interactive learning experience you don't want to miss!

Most Awaited video of 2024 is live now. 180 PMP Questions video is getting popular, if you have not watched it yet, watch is now.

Scenario 1 is definitely handing out that "Carrot" :D - Theory X... my least preferred too, as it is very "Industrial-age" way of Managing applicable for physical labor that started with the assembly line and time-punching. Scenario 2 sounds like Theory Y sounds a lot more like leading/trusting as needed in the knowledge-worker-age :) . For Question 2, she is having an appraisal soon, and giving it "your best" means you are motivated to satisfy her need for esteem. I always liked "Maslow's hierarchy of needs" & I've known about it for years. Personally, I developed a preference for Stephen Covey's 7 Habits and the 8th Habit. I am surprised how little (if any) mention they make of them in any PMP guides. Anyway - great video! Thank you much!!
Loving your thought process.
Thanks for loving the video.
Gautham
Gautham: Your are awesome. I am preparing for PMP and watching your free videos on CZcams. They are really opening my concepts exceptionally well and getting fitted properly in my mind.
Answer of Q-1 is Theory X because of the operational or repetitive style of work.
Answer of Q-2 is Theory Y because of innovative nature of work which is keeping the employees motivated.
Santhi is trying to satisfy Esteem needs as She has already satisfied her Physiological, Safety & belonging needs.
I am glad you loved the video.
Gautham
Nicely explained

Awesome job!! Gautham
Scenario 1: Shevi follows theory x, as the job is routine. It’s common for a human to get distressed and lose interest in doing routine jobs. To handle such situations the manager should follow theory x to safeguard the project objective/goal.
Scenario 2: Vihhan follows theory y, as the team members are working on innovative jobs, which will keep them highly motivated.
Question 2: Santhi is trying to satisfy her “Esteem” needs in this scenario. She is putting her 100% effort into getting the promotion and hike.
That is exactly how you should think. Gautham

Scenario 1: Theory X = The team is working on the same tasks every day and is asked to produce 1000 units by Shevi, She is also connecting with the team daily to ensure the team has produced 1000 units and she is rewarding the employees based on best performance.
Scenario 2: Theory Y = The team is working on an innovative project and is highly motivated, Vihaan is self-organizing the team.

Very impressive!! Gautham
Hi gautham . Hope u remember me . This is Jithu ettan.
Q1.Scenario 1 Theory X (1000 units everyday is a repetitive job so she makes sure his team is motivated by giving reward )
Scenario 2 -Theory Y (Team is self motivated by doing innovative project and Vihaan is self organizing the team)
Q2. Esteem ( She is giving her best to get the promotion and hike)
Very impressive!!
Gautham
QUESTION 1
Scenario 1: This is related to THEORY X management style since the project focuses team to deliver 1000 products repeatedly. Manager conducts daily meeting, checking the status and rewards best performer
Scenario 2: This is related to THEORY Y management style since the project is about research and development, the team here is self-motivated towards the work they are doing. They love their work.
QUESTION 2
Option B is wrong since Santhi is already working in an MNC physiological needs i.e. basic food , shelter and worm are already met
Option C is wrong, since Santhi is working hard giving her 100% for promotion, she will continue to do so until she reaches Self-Actualization hence, self-actualization is not met yet and this will be met once Esteem is met.
Option D is wrong, again since she is working in MNC she already has a secured job hence Job safety is already there, hence Saftey needs are already met.
Hence Option A is the right choice , by working hard and giving her 100% she is trying to get promotion in next cycle, hence she is trying to meet her Esteem needs.
That is exactly how you should think.
Gautham
Option A) Esteem because she is trying to get promotion .
Great Job !!
Gautham
QUESTION 1.
Theory X - Scenario - 1. Key word Every day status meeting and end of the project team is motivated by rewards.
Theory Y - Scenario - 2 key word team is doing innovative works self motivated.

Keep up the good work!!
Gautham
Q1)Scenario 1 is Theory X as shevi directed closely and conducting status meetings every day. Scenario 2 is Theory Y, team members like their work. Q2) Esteem ... as Shanthi is doing 100% work for promotion appraisal needs.
Very Impressive !!
