Which of the following is true of the three early theories of motivation?
A) Maslow focuses on job satisfaction.
B) McGregor focuses on the basic needs of the individual.
C) Both McGregor and Herzberg focus on human nature.
D) McGregor focuses on positive and negative assumptions about human nature.
Answer: D
Explanation: Maslow focused on needs, not job satisfaction, so "Maslow focuses on job satisfaction" is not a correct choice. McGregor focused on human nature, making "McGregor focuses on individual needs" incorrect and "only McGregor focuses on human nature" the correct response. The remaining choice is incorrect because it identifies Herzberg as also focusing on human nature, which is not true.
