The effect of driving force on the division of excitation energy between the asymmetric colliding partners in deep inelastic heavy-ion collisions is studied in the nucleon-exchange model. For this purpose an event-by-event analysis using Monte Carlo simulation technique is performed. It is seen that the fraction of the total excitation energy carried by the projectile-like fragment is sensitive to the mass drift. The model is also applied to analyze the correlation between fragment mass and excitation energy for a given total energy loss and significant correlation is found. The reactions induced by {sup 56}Fe at 9 MeV/nucleon and {sup 74}Ge at 8.5 MeV/nucleon on {sup 165}Ho are considered in our analysis and the calculated correlations are in good agreement with the results obtained from the kinematic coincidence experiments.
