Demand-Resource Model

The Demand-Resource Model is a framework used to understand how people's needs or desires (demand) interact with the resources available (resources). It suggests that individuals or organizations pursue goals based on their demands, but their success depends on the resources they have or can access. When demand exceeds resources, challenges or stress may occur, prompting efforts to increase resources or manage demands. Conversely, adequate resources can help meet demands efficiently. This model is useful across various fields to analyze how resource allocation affects achievement and well-being.
