Match the theory/concept in Column I with its proponent or idea in Column II. Column I: (1) Hierarchy of needs; (2) Two-factor theory; (3) Theory X and Theory Y; (4) Autocratic leadership Column II: (a) Douglas McGregor; (b) Leader takes decisions alone and expects obedience; (c) Abraham Maslow; (d) Frederick Herzberg

The correct matching is hierarchy of needs with Maslow, two-factor theory with Herzberg, Theory X and Theory Y with McGregor, and autocratic leadership with the leader deciding alone and demanding obedience. Other options wrongly interchange the proponents of these theories.

  2. B1-d, 2-c, 3-a, 4-b
  3. C1-c, 2-a, 3-d, 4-b
  4. D1-a, 2-d, 3-c, 4-b

Explanation

The hierarchy of needs is Maslow's, the two-factor (hygiene and motivators) theory is Herzberg's, and Theory X and Theory Y is McGregor's. An autocratic leader decides alone and expects obedience. Option B swaps Maslow and Herzberg, so it is wrong.
