Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Select the correct answer from the codes given below:
Assertion (A): Assertion (A): According to Theory 'Y', the integration of behaviour is the key process in management.
Reason (R): Reason (R): Theory 'Y' results in the creation of conditions conducive for the members to achieve their own goals by directing their efforts towards the success of the enterprise.
ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A ✓ Correct
BBoth A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is true, but R is false
DA is false, but R is true
Correct answer: (A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A — Both A and R are true and R explains A, so the answer is option A.
Explanation
★Both A and R are true and R explains A, so the answer is option A.
★Douglas McGregor's Theory Y assumes people are willing to work and seek responsibility.
★Its central principle is the integration of individual and organisational goals, so the assertion is true.
★The reason is also true: Theory Y creates conditions in which members reach their own goals by working towards the success of the enterprise.
★That very arrangement, where personal and organisational aims meet, is what integration of behaviour means.
★So the reason describes exactly how integration works, and thus explains the assertion.
★Hence both statements are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
