Discover the scientific foundation and validity of the Management Drives methodology.
Insight requires a solid foundation
Why scientific underpinning is important
People make decisions every day about development, collaboration, and leadership. The insights on which those choices are based must be reliable.
A methodology therefore requires more than recognizable profiles or practical applications. The underlying theory must align with scientific knowledge about human behavior, and the outcomes must demonstrably correspond with reality. It is precisely this combination that makes a methodology valuable for organizations.
Based on scientific insights
The Management Drives methodology builds on insights from various scientific disciplines that together explain why people do what they do.
These include:
By combining this knowledge, a practical methodology emerges that helps to better understand behavior, collaboration, and organizational development.
Independently scientifically validated
In addition to the theoretical basis, it has also been investigated whether the methodology actually measures what it intends to measure.
In 2022 and 2024, the Leiden University (Faculty of Social Sciences) conducted two independent scientific studies on the validity of the Management Drives methodology. Both studies show that the profiles adequately describe the motivations of professionals in the workplace and that participants recognize themselves well in them. This officially scientifically validates the Management Drives profile.

Keep developing
New insights into human behavior are never static. The Management Drives methodology is continuously developed based on scientific insights, practical experience, and feedback from professionals. This way, the methodology remains aligned with the challenges of organizations and the latest knowledge about motivation and behavior.
