Answer 1

Answer: The following statements is false: Most people today prefer managers who follow Theory X versus Theory Y.

Theory X and Y were coined by McGregor in his book titled, “The Human side of Enterprise” under which it refers to two types of management – (Theory X) i.e. the authoritarian and (Theory Y) I.e. participative.

It should be also noted that the managers who follow them or are inclined towards them , are not necessarily preferred.

Therefore, the correct option is (b).
