Research Foundation

The AL360 integrates three major research streams into a single coherent assessment:

  • Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan) — autonomy, competence, and relatedness as drivers of intrinsic motivation
  • Psychological Safety (Edmondson) — the conditions that enable learning, innovation, and team effectiveness
  • Adaptive Leadership (Heifetz; Dweck) — growth mindset and the ability to navigate complex, non-technical challenges
