  10. Professors & Teachers as “Managers” Recall previous teachers and professors, try to classify them as holding beliefs about students more in line with Theory X or Theory Y. What are the differences in how class is conducted?

  11. Argyris takes this one step further Argyris theorizes that if managers treat their employees in a positive manner—as responsible adults—their employees will be more productive. His research found that mature/adult workers want additional responsibilities, a variety of tasks, and the ability to participate in decisions. If not, the result will be employee absenteeism, apathy, and even alienation.
