Which of the following statements regarding theories of motivation is/are correct?
A. The concept of ERG theory is similar to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
B. Theory X has positive assumptions and Theory Y has negative assumptions.
C. Two factor Theory is derived by McGregor.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Only statement A is correct: Alderfer's ERG theory (existence, relatedness, growth) is a condensed version of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Statement B is false because McGregor's Theory X makes negative assumptions about workers and Theory Y positive ones, and statement C is false because the two-factor (motivation-hygiene) theory is Herzberg's, not McGregor's.
