Theory Y is a belief that employees are self-motivated, and can be relied upon to work effectively with significant delegated authority.

Theory Y is one of two alternative views by management about employees, identified by Douglas McGregor, and published in The Human Side of Enterprise (1960).

The alternative view identified by McGregor is Theory X.
