As you said, most managers haven't even heard of "Theory Y" management. Mangerialism (and here I'm using it as defined by Spender and Locke) is the dominant paradigm in most parts of the business world. This is not a problem with one individual's company. It's way larger than that.

And you're right that it's common... not because people are explicitly subscribing to "managerialism" as a theory, but because command-and-control Theory X management seems to be people's default mode of thinking.
