Theoretical Background of the Study
This work is based on the theory of Human Management in organization, one of the behavioural schools of thought theories. The behavioural school of thought theories. The behavioural school emerged because managers found that the classical approach (the scientific approach) did not quite achieve complete production efficiency and harmony in the work place.
This theory was postulated by Douglas McGregor. This theory is referred to as theory X and Y and the theory tries to identify two sets of assumptions about the nature of people. The theorists argued that the approach or the way an administrator deals with his subordinates depends on his own perception of the subordinates.
Administrative behaviour that is typical of theory X is based on the following assumptions:
1. That the average human being has an inherent dislike of work and will avoid it if he can
2. That because of this inherent dislike of work, most people must be forced, controlled, directed and even threatened to do the work
3. The average human being prefers to be directed as he avoids responsibility, has little ambition and wants security.
Administrator that is based on theory X will be characterized by no nonsense, strongly directive leadership, tight control and very tight close supervision. Conversely, theory Y embraces some very different assumption of human beings
1. Work is as natural as play if it is satisfying
2. People will exercise self direction and self control towards an organizational goal if they are committed those objectives.
3. Commitment of objectives is a function of the rewards associated with the achievement
4. The average human beings learn under proper conditions not only to accept but to seek responsibility.
5. The capacity to exercise a relatively high degree of imagination, ingenuity and creativity in the solution of organizational problems is widely, not narrowly, distributed in the population.
6. Under the conditions of modern industrial life, the intellectual potentialities of the average human being are only partially utilized.
Theory Y is optimistic, dynamic and flexible with an emphasis on direction and the integration of individual needs with organizational demand. It gives room for dialogue, mutual understanding and there is no coercion. It gives room for dialogue, mutual understanding and there is no coercion.
Relevance of the theory to the study
The theory is relevant to this study in the following ways:
1. The administrative implication of theories X and Y is that (managers) school principals who accept either or both theories will utilize the essential ideas of the theory (theories) in planning their (organizational policy) schools activities; in formulating their decisions and in carrying out other facets of their administrative behaviour (Arinze in Eneasator 1998).
2. Theory X is essential as the principal may sometimes need to apply force or cohesion to ensure that lazy teachers do their works. It is also guides against indolence and complacence among teachers.
3. Theory Y is suitable in achieving school effectiveness as there will be a mirage if there is no conducive atmosphere, dialogue and mutual understanding between the school principals and teachers.
4. The style a leader adopts at different times is determined by prevailing situations. As such in the school system, the principal may go by either theory X or Y.
5. Through proper motivation of teachers by the school principal, productivity is enhanced and the goal of the school is achieved.
6. Theory Y gives opportunity for participative decision making in matters relating to the school which in turn ensures healthy environment, teachers motivation and makes the realization of school goals and objectives to be easy and possible.
