The SCARF model is based on neuroscience research and was developed by David Rock in 2008. The model stands for five social domains. These domains activate threat and reward responses in people’s brain. Human beings rely on these responses for physical survival. The five key domains in this model include status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and as well as fairness (Rock, 2008). Personally, SCARF impacts me within my career in different ways. Each domain of the model has a different impact within my career.
