Match the theory with its key idea. 1. Maslow's need hierarchy; 2. Herzberg's two-factor theory; 3. McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y; 4. Vroom's expectancy theory. (P) Hygiene factors prevent dissatisfaction while motivators create satisfaction; (Q) Motivation depends on expectation that effort leads to performance and performance to reward; (R) Needs are arranged in ascending order and a satisfied need ceases to motivate; (S) Managers hold contrasting assumptions about whether workers dislike or enjoy work.

The correct matching is Maslow with ascending needs, Herzberg with hygiene factors and motivators, McGregor with contrasting assumptions about workers in Theory X and Y, and Vroom with expectations linking effort, performance and reward. Hence 1-R, 2-P, 3-S, 4-Q is correct.

Explanation

Maslow's hierarchy is ascending needs (R). Herzberg separates hygiene factors and motivators (P). McGregor's X and Y are contrasting assumptions about workers (S). Vroom's theory links effort, performance and reward expectations (Q). Other options swap these ideas.
