On further reflection, this same McGregor, realizing the
inaccurate assumptions of his theory X, developed an alternative
theory called theory Y. This theory is based on the assumption
that people by nature are not lazy, that if properly motivated can
be productive, self-directed and evocated. But the dilemma of the
library administrator is that if he applies theory X he will fail to
motivate the staff and may not succeed. It is a question able
method for motivating the staff. If he applied theory Y, again he
may fail and sub-ordinates will take undue advantage to frustrate
the system.
