Autocratic

Employees are not involved in decision making and managers want work to be completley exactly like they wished for. An autocratic manager will be very strict and employees usually can not use thier initiatives. This type of manager believes that employees need more supervision and employees are hugely money motivated. Less likely to trust employees

Tgeory x and Theory Y

McGregors thoery sounds more like a understanding on managers thoughts on employees rather than being a motivation theory

Theory x- like autocratic believe that employees are hugely motivated by money and they are lazy, dislike work and are irresponsible. They aldo believe that employees lack initiative and cannot work unless they are supervised .

Theory Y- like democratic managers who believe that employees are not only motivatedmy money nd they are interested and enjoying work, and are always looking for challenging roles. they beilieve employees have initiative and ca be involved in decision making with abilities of excersizing self dicipline
