1.4 THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE STUDY
According
to Iie (1999: 252) city Mc Gregary (1960:35-48), here developed two
theories or assumption of human behaviours namely, theories X and Y
theory.
The basic assumptions of theory x are:-
1. work, it not down right distasteful is an enormous there to be performed in order to survive.
2. the average human being has an inhenent dislike of work and will avoid it he can.
3.
because of his characteristic dislike of work, most people must be
coerced controlled, directed or treated with punishment to put forth
adequate effort, towards the achievemtn of organizational objectives.
4.
the average human being prefers to be directed, wishes to avoid
responsibility, has relatively little ambition, wants security above
all.
Theory Y
The basic assumptions of theory Y are:-
1. the expenditure of physical energy and mental effort in work is as natural as play or rest.
2.
external control and the threat of punishment are not the only, means
for bringing about effort towards the achievement of organizations
objectives. Man will exercise self direction self control in the service
of objectives to which he is committed.
3. commitment to objectives is a function of the rewards associated with their achievements.
4. the average human being learns under proper condition not only to accept but seek responsibility.
5.
the capacity to exercise a relatively high degree of juvenility and
creatively in the solution of organization problems is widely, not
narrowly distributed in the population.
6. under the conditions of
modern title intellectual potentialities of the average human being are
only partially utilized. According to Olewe et al 91994: 168) the level
of performance of a worker is a function of his abilities and will. A
workers ability determines how he can do the work, while will determines
what he would do.
When the will is positive, workers output would increase, but where it is negative, works’ performance level would be low.
As
a result of the above and in agreement with theory Y above. It is the
opinion of the researcher that disengagement of workers should not be
used as a deterrent to the still employed state as this could be counter
productive an average human being needs to be motivated and assumed of
the security of his job to the incessant frequent and unplanned
disengagement (Lay-offs, management successions etc) of workers
especially in Enugu zone of the federal radio corporation of Nigeria has
in no small way militated against the achievement of the set goods of
the corporation.
The research is therefore, aimed at finding the
effect of disengagement on the morale of the skill employed work force
of the corporation. That is, if they felt threaten and their morale is
high and they have become more productive because of the exercise.
