The Psychological Equation of People, Process, and Product – A Systems Thinking Synthesis
LinkedIn
September 30, 2025
This article explores the psychological interdependencies between people, process, and product in organizational, innovation, and leadership contexts. While this triad is well-known in operational frameworks, the underlying psychological drivers remain underexplored. Drawing from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Herzberg’s two-factor theory, Deming’s system of profound knowledge, Csikszentmihalyi’s flow theory, and Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan), this note proposes a synthesis that the triad operates as a self-reinforcing loop where motivation, structure, and tangible outcomes continuously shape one another. The quality of the loop determines the velocity and sustainability of innovation.
