Abstract

This report examines the relationship between the Instinctive Drivesâ"žÂ¢ system (hereafter, the I.D. Systemâ"žÂ¢), as developed by Link-Up International Pty Ltd, and occupational stress. The I.D. Systemâ"žÂ¢ is said to gauge the innate qualities of individual team members by assessing four key drives; namely, the Instinctive Drive to Verifyâ"žÂ¢, the Instinctive Drive to Authenticateâ"žÂ¢, the Instinctive Drive to Completeâ"žÂ¢ and the Instinctive Drive to Improviseâ"žÂ¢. It is argued that, through an improved understanding of their own drives as well as those of their team members, individual and team performance can be promptly enhanced by employing specific strategies for communication and management; this, in turn, has a beneficial effect on employee wellbeing. The present report explores this claim. More specifically, the study determined whether the I.D. Systemâ"žÂ¢ can facilitate the management of occupational stress.
