The I.D. system : a reliable approach to improve team performance

In the changing workplace environment, employee behaviour remains largely unpredictable, implicating significant repercussions for team dynamics and team performance. To maximise human capital, managers and employees need to understand those facets that impel peak performance. This paper introduces one such approach--the Instinctive Drives System[R]. The system offers improved insight into innate drives as well as opportunities to harness these for improved individual and team functioning. The paper discusses the context that gave rise to its development and its potential value in the development and management of human resources. Through a comparison with validated tools used for similar for purposes, the paper indicates that the system is theoretically grounded in organisational psychology to improve individual and organisational performance. The paper culminates with the presentation of research findings that validate the system and verify the need for further research.
