Hi Simhan,
Thank you for that link. I had not heard about the XY Theory before. I have worked for so many Theory X managers during my working life! Now I know why I had such a bad time with them! If only we could banish them from the face of the earth.

Thank you, John, for accessing the link suggested; I am rather surprised to note that you had not come across that before.
I take this opportunity to appeal to other members to explore the links at the left sidebar of that site. The links contain a lot of useful information about other motivational theories as well as on Personality, Leadership, Training, Learning, and Teaching, etc.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hey Simhan,
Thanks for sharing the site. It is quite useful. Businessballs.com is indeed useful not only for HR theories but also for games, informal aspects, and forms/formats.
Thanks for reminding me of my preferred website (during post-graduation days) as I had long forgotten it in my working schedule.
Thanks ya!!!
