The Demands-Resources-Individual Effects (DRIVE) Model

Abstract

The first part of the present chapter describes the demands-resources-individual-effects (DRIVE) model development. This approach maintained the features of earlier models but emphasized individual differences and personal resources. The second part of the chapter reviews recent DRIVE research, focusing on investigating both positive and negative aspects of work. The third part of the chapter discusses psychosocial factors in practitioner research, which could adapt the DRIVE model to employee experience and engagement. Suggestions for future fundamental research and using DRIVE to individualize industry research are then made.
