Polly Smith, a supervisor at Kroger's, was recently evaluated by her subordinates. Their responses indicated that Polly uses Theory X assumptions when dealing with employees. For example, one of the comments indicated that she treats employees as if they:. a. naturally like work.
b. will work toward goals they are committed to.
c. have little ambition.
d. have the potential to accomplish the organization's goals.
e. seek out and accept responsibility.

c. have little ambition.

Explanation:

Theory X is a theory that refers to people's behavior at work and suggests that managers tend to think that people are not motivated and don't like to work, avoid responsibility, don't have ambition and because of that, they have to be rewarded or punished to complete their job. According to that, the answer is that for example, one of the comments indicated that she treats employees as if they have little ambition because theory X says that managers have a negative opinion of people.

The other options are not right because they all refer to theory Y in which managers tend to have a positive view of their workers and think that they like their work, are motivated and are willing to take responsibility.
