In 1963, Howard Y. McClusky wrote the theory of margin, defining the personal ratio of power to load. Margin theory has been used to predict success; however, more research is needed to redevelop how this sixty-year-old theory is situated in the current environment. This grounded theory study examined the changes to margin by hybridization. Initial findings suggest that tasking is not the simple internal review of power and load, as suggested in the theory of margin. Instead, the hybridized environment adds additional factors of intensification and motivation drain brought on by omnipresent tasking and dynamic environments. These factors combine to create an additional environment-based term to the decades-old, one-dimensional theory. [For the full proceedings, see ED648717.]
