Q5. Explain which one management style is likely to be used by managers who adopt the theory X approach to workers. [3]

Possible Structure

[KN]
[AN]
[AN+]

[Shanze Arsalan]

KN: Autocratic management style is best for Theory X people as these employees are always lazy and trying to avoid work thus to keep them productive it is best that they are kept on their toes all the time by giving them straight and clear orders.
AN: In this way they will have a better idea of business culture and try to restrain themselves from doing anything that would harm the business culture
AN+:Thus less labour turnover as less employees who go against business rules.
(this feels like a poor answer)
