Match the following:List - I
(Individual Behaviour Models)List - II
(Contributory)(a) Theory X and Y model (i) Freud (b) Economic model (ii) F.W. Taylor (c) Behavioural model (iii) Douglas Mc Gregor (d) Rational model (iv) Chris Argyris
(a)-(iii), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)
This question links four models of individual behaviour to the thinkers most associated with them, so we match each model to its author.
The Theory X and Theory Y model was given by Douglas McGregor, who contrasted two sets of managerial assumptions about people - Theory X assuming workers dislike work and need control, Theory Y assuming they are self-motivated - so (a)-(iii). The economic model treats the worker as 'economic man', motivated chiefly by money and material incentives; this view is rooted in F.W. Taylor's scientific management, so (b)-(ii).
The behavioural model, which stresses how organisational conditions, maturity and the work situation shape a person's behaviour, is associated with Chris Argyris and his work on the maturity-immaturity continuum, so (c)-(iv). The rational model, tracing behaviour to deeper inner drives and psychic structure, is linked in this scheme to Freud, so (d)-(i).
Putting these together gives the combination (a)-(iii), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i), which is the fourth code; the other options misassign at least one author, for instance tying Theory X and Y to someone other than McGregor.
Hence the correct match is (a)-(iii), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i).
