Theory X management style

Explanation:

Theory X is focused on the standard laborer's suppositions. This theory of management believes the average worker has no motivation, lacks accountability and is focused to specific ambitions. Overall, managers of theory X style assume their workers are less smart, stupider, and only operate for a reliable income.

In such a management style the managers keeps strong supervision over their subordinates, therefore, it will be suitable style as the company is already in steep condition and further problems might lead to total loss.
