The document discusses several behavioral management theories, including those proposed by George Elton Mayo, Douglas McGregor, and Abraham Maslow. McGregor proposed two theories of human motivation at work - Theory X, which assumes employees dislike work and need to be controlled, and Theory Y, which assumes employees can exercise self-direction and responsibility. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory proposes that human needs are arranged in a hierarchy from basic physiological needs to higher needs of belonging, esteem and self-actualization, and that satisfying lower needs allows higher needs to motivate behavior. The behavioral management approach focuses on understanding human behavior at work through these types of motivational theories to improve productivity.
