Physical and mental effort at work is as normal as it is at rest and at play.

Commitment to objectives goes hand in hand with the rewards obtained upon reaching them. The average person can learn not only to accept, but also to seek greater responsibility.

Las hipótesis son las siguientes : el esfuerzo físico y mental en el trabajo es tan normal como en el juego o el descanso; el hombre se autocontrolará y se autodirigirá para conseguir objetivos que comparte, por lo que el control externo y las amenazas no son la única forma de lograr esfuerzos; el compromiso con los objetivos es función de las recompensas asociadas con su logro; el hombre medio puede aprender no sólo a aceptar, sino a buscar mayor responsabilidad; la capacidad de imaginación y creatividad está ampliamente distribuida entre la población; en la vida industrial moderna el potencial intelectual del hombre medio está sólo parcialmente utilizado. 2, record 4, Spanish, - teor%C3%ADa%20Y
