MARS model of individual behavior
- MARS model of individual behavior
MARS model of individual behavior or MARS BAR model of individual behavior or simply MARS model is a model that seeks to explain individual behavior as a result of internal and external factors or influences acting together [http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/dl/free/0074716581/381450/ppt_ch02.ppt#261,4,MARS Model of Individual Behaviour] . The name of the model is an acronym for individual Motivation, Abilities, Role Perception and Situational Factors. These are seen as the four major factors in determining individual behavior and results. Behavior and Results is sometimes shortened to BAR and so the model becomes MARS BAR. However, individual values, personality, perceptions, emotions, attitudes, and stress form a basis on which the factors interact.
The model can be applied to a variety of situations, but is usually used in Management, Industrial Psychology or Organizational Behavior studies.
