advantages and disadvantages of Henzberg Two Factor theory of motivation?

Question

Henzberg two factor theory , its weakness and strengh

Answer 1

Theory X and Theory Y...

It is better to believe that people generally want to work and work better when given the tools necessary to do a good job.

I am a manager, I do not believe that I have to stand over employees and tell them what to do every second of the day. After the day is done, I know the work will be accomplished, and in the end that is all that matters.

Theory X would stiffle creativity and take constant effort in commanding the people to constantly work. It would be useful to teach those without any skill level because they need the most supervision.

I cannot imagine having twenty five first time employees with no work history working without constantly supervising them. Because they have no established work ethic. So, this is when theory X works. In sweat shop type conditions.

That is where I started working, and most of us needed this type of supervision.

My crew is made up of veterans. They know the job, and understand it 100%. I do not have to look over my shoulder to worry if work is being done or not. Because they take care of business with little or no effort on my part.

I could go on break for most of the day, and come back knowing they would have done a great job. So, I love the ability that having a veteran crew gives me.

I could be the X type of boss, but it takes greater effort because you are dealing with raw materials or sweat shop work. I perfer theory Y. Makes my life easier!

Answer 2

I think there are some consequences (rather than disadvantages) of being a citizen of an EU member country. Lets say for example that a supra-national regulation framework (semi-governmental function) imposed by the EU on its members leads to situations where member states can feel their sovereignty encroached upon or compromised. Another consequence could be an inflow-outflow of EU citizens to and from areas of pre-existing economic opportunity. It is commonly accepted that too many participants in an economically robust area (European metropolitan areas) might lay the rural areas devoid of its workforce and cause a labor surplus/lowering of wages in urban aggregations. Thats two for you from several more. Thanks, AS
