only to perform job as an obligation for reward
and not having any sense of extra reward or
praise in form of uplifting of designations.
In People culture, theory X stands fully, as it is a
system depending on the functions of individuals
who perform fully in accordance with the
requirement of job and their own willingness.
They know that they are only the ones to get
rewarded for whatever the benefit they will work
on and hence they become responsible for their
acts.

obligatory subjects who perform as per ordered.
They have no choice of their expertise and hence
they get no specific rewards for whatever their
expertise is. They might be performing tasks
which they have least interest or skill in,
therefore they will have no motivation that may
drive them to work tirelessly towards a goal with
a sense of responsibility.
