will review McGregor’s X and Y Theory. The Theory describes the two different types of workers there are.

illumination tests In the early 1920s Chicago’s Western Electric Hawthorne Works employed 12‚000 workers.

Discussion This experiment was able to prove the Bronsted-Lowry theory. In acid-base reaction‚ there is a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base. This experiment also proved the concept of mole to mole ratio‚ in which a solution with a known mole can be used to find characteristics such as the concentration of a reaction in a reaction. Through the experiment‚ the concentration of NaOH‚ and mystery of the unknown acid # 25 was accomplished. In both parts A and B of the experiment‚ a weak acid-strong

Motivation can therefore be thought of as the degree to which an individual wants AND chooses to engage in certain
