What is the Importance of X and Y Administrative theory in Education Profession ?

The theories revolve around the use of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations to get the best results from workers in the business world, but it can also apply to students in a classroom.  The X-variant refers to students that need extrinsic motivation and without it would likely be lazy/less productive; while the Y variant assumes intrinsic motivation which yields students who actively seek their own imporvement.  Ideally, all students would be Y variants, but since that is highly improbable, the teacher must evaluate the students based upon many variables in the classroom and use that to determine whether he/she needs to be extrinsically motivated and what will work to promote this.

It's not an easy task, but it is one that teachers have to face daily.  The X and Y theories merely codify what that struggle entails in education.

I agree with Mr Douglas's perfect answer
