What is Instinctive Drive™? : a report on the validation process of the ID™ System used to improve team performance

Abstract

In a changing environment, behaviour of individual team members remains largely unpredictable. To maximise human capital, managers and individuals need to recognise the dedication that urges them to perform well. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of Instinctive Drive (ID)™. It discusses the I.D. System™, where it came from and how it is employed. The paper compares the use of this tool to other validated tools and points to the likely benefits of knowing individuals’ innate drivers and likely responses. The paper indicates this research is theoretically grounded in the field of organisational behaviour and psychology to improve individual and organisational performance by understanding instinctive drives™. This paper presents preliminary results from a much larger study that aims to validate the I.D. System™ questionnaire and follow up. Preliminary results to quantitatively investigate reliability of the tool are promising and further investigations into validity are underway
