Can we expect questions related to theories
Submitted by loma on Thu, 07/04/2013 - 10:30
Hi All,
In various sample tests I have seen questions related to various theories. Like which belong to which theory and whose theory it is.I am having difficulties in remembering all these theories.
I am wondering do we really get such questions in actual exam?

Yes, these theories will show
Yes, these theories will show up for sure. There will be questions about the theories of
- quality (Deming, Crosby, ...)
- motivation (Herzberg, McClelland, McGregor)
- teams (Tuckmann Ladder)
But Ritas Exam Prep covers them really good and the questions themselves are rather easy.

Be prepared
My suggestion would be: Be prepared instead of losing out on these sort of 'freebie' questions which do not require too much analysis from your end. You just need to map the relevant theory (motivational/team/quality) to the scenario.
My first hand experience is that you will get a few questions on all of these, the number would vary person to person. I personally got quite a few on Tuckman Ladder, which I nailed easily.
For your quick reference, here are some which I noted for my notes:
HR/Motivational Theories:
X= Employees are inherently lazy and need to be micromanaged
Y= Employess are inherently motivated and need to be encouraged
Quality Theories:
Look them up in Rita's book or online. There are only a few that do rounds, so you do not have to learn a whole lot, but do understand the concept of each theory clearly.
