3. THE MEANING AND DEFINITION OF
PERSONALITY:-
1. Personality has come from a Latin word ‘Persona’
meaning to speak through (mask). As in the ancient
days masks were worn in Greece and Rome by actors,
while enacting plays. Thus, personality is used for
influencing others through external appearance.
However, personality is not the external appearance
alone.
2. Personality can be defined as those inner psychological
characteristics that both determine and reflect how a
person think and act in an environment.
3. According to Stephen P. Robbins, personality is the
sum total ways in which an individual reacts and
interacts with others. It may be defined as those inner
psychological characteristics that both determine and
reflect how a person responds to his environment.
4. PERSONALITY AS A CONTINUUM:-
1. A continuum is something that keeps on going,
changing slowly over time
2. TRAIT meaning a distinguishing quality or characteristic
or a genetically determined characteristic.
3. The basic components of personality refer to the
personality trait. Many researchers have shown
interest to know about individual’s personality as it is
linked with behaviour.
4. If one can predict the behaviour of individuals,
modification of behaviour can be done in a smoother
way towards achieving the organisational goals.
5. Each personality factor represents a collection of
related or cluster of traits. These clusters of traits
determine whether the individual is achievement-
oriented, dominating, responsible, etc.
5. PERSONALITY TRAITS
• The 5 personality traits exist on a continuum
rather than as attributes that a person does
or does not have.
• Each of these 5 traits is made up individual
aspects, which can be measured
independently.
• The personality traits cannot be studied in
isolation.
7. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
The MBTI is based on a very old theory, has mixed at best
research support, but is widely used and very popular in real-
world career counseling, team building, conflict management,
and analyzing management styles.

12. “JOHARI” WINDOW
Definition: Johari window is a psychological
tool to self-assess one’s behaviour as well as
the relationship with others, through feedback
or disclosure. It is one of the most effective
means of self-analysis by considering the
other’s perspective to understand oneself in a
better way.
It helps in determining the areas of expertise
or strengths, the shortcomings, the scope of
development and challenge to be faced.
14. ADVANTAGES OF JW
• SELF-AWARENESS
• CORDIAL RELATIONSHIPS
• IMPROVES COMMUNICATION
• TEAM DEVELOPMENT
• PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
• GROUP DYNAMICS
15. TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS
• Transactional analysis (TA) is a psychoanalytic
theory and method of therapy wherein social
transactions are analyzed to determine the ego state
of the communicator (whether parent-like, childlike,
or adult-like) as a basis for understanding behavior.
• In transactional analysis, the communicator is taught
to alter the ego state as a way to solve emotional
problems.
• The method deviates from Freudian
psychoanalysis which focuses on increasing
awareness of the contents of subconsciously held
ideas.
• Eric Berne developed the concept and paradigm of
transactional analysis in the late 1950s.
16. PAC-MODEL
The ego-state, or Parent–Adult–Child (PAC),
models
Many of the core TA models and concepts can
be categorised into
1 STRUCTURAL
ANALYSIS
analysis of the individual psyche
2 TRANSACTIONAL
ANALYSIS
analysis of interpersonal transactions based on structural
analysis of the individuals involved in the transaction
3 GAME ANALYSIS repeating sequences of transactions that lead to a result
subconsciously agreed to by the parties involved in the
game
4 SCRIPT ANALYSIS a life plan that may involve long-term involvement in
particular games in order to reach the life pay-off of the
individual
17. PARENT (“ ETEROPSYCHE”)
• a state in which people behave, feel, and
think in response to an unconscious
mimicking of how their parents (or other
parental figures) acted, or how they
interpreted their parent's actions.
• For example, a person may shout at
someone out of frustration because they
learned from an influential figure in
childhood the lesson that this seemed to be
a way of relating that worked.
18. ADULT (“NEOPSHYCHE”)
• a state of the ego which is most like an
artificially intelligent system processing
information and making predictions about
major emotions that could affect its
operation.
• Learning to strengthen the Adult is a goal of
TA.
• While a person is in the Adult ego state, he/
she is directed towards an objective
appraisal of reality.
19. CHILD(“ARCHAEOPSYCHE”
• a state in which people behave, feel, and
think similarly to how they did in childhood.
• For example, a person who receives a poor
evaluation at work may respond by looking
at the floor and crying or pouting, as when
scolded as a child.
• Conversely, a person who receives a good
evaluation may respond with a broad smile
and a joyful gesture of thanks. The Child is
the source of emotions, creation, recreation,
spontaneity, and intimacy.

22. EMPLOYEE ATTITUDES AND IT’S
NATURE
1. Specific employee attitudes relating to job
satisfaction and organizational commitment are
of major interest to the field of organizational
behavior and the practice of human resource
management.
2. Whereas the above discussion of positive and
negative affectivity are considered to be
antecedents of work attitudes, more directly
job satisfaction focuses on employees’ attitudes
toward their job and organizational
commitment focuses on their attitudes toward
the overall organization.
24. What Is Meant by Job Satisfaction?
1. Locke gives a comprehensive definition of job
satisfaction as involving cognitive, affective, and
evaluative reactions or attitudes and states it is
“a pleasurable or positive emotional state
resulting from the appraisal of one’s job or job
experience.
2. Job satisfaction is a result of employees’
perception of how well their job provides those
things that are viewed as important.
3. It is generally recognized in the organizational
behavior field that job satisfaction is the most
important and frequently studied employee
attitude.
25. ❑ Although theoretical analyses have criticized job
satisfaction as being too narrow conceptually, there are
three generally accepted dimensions to job satisfaction.
❑ First, job satisfaction is an emotional response to a job
situation. As such, it cannot be seen; it can only be
inferred.
❑ Second, job satisfaction is often determined by how
well outcomes meet or exceed expectations.
❑ For example, if organizational participants feel that
they are working much harder than others in the
department but are receiving fewer rewards, they
will probably have a negative attitude toward their
work, boss, and/or coworkers. and are being paid
equitably, they are likely to have a positive attitude
toward the job. They will be job satisfied.
❑ Third, job satisfaction represents several related
attitudes. T

Affiliation(nAff), or
the drive for
interpersonal
relationship.
3. Need for
Achievement
(nAch), or the
drive to excel,
advance, and grow
34. nP

have following
characteristics.
• They Like to control
others
• The/y are
argumentative

suitable for leadership
roles. “It is the desire to
control other and
influence their behavior”
35. nAff

40. HIERARCHY THEORY

42. POSITIVE ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR
✔ Few important variables that have more recently
emerged to help in both the better understanding
and the effective application of organizational
behavior.
✔ The term POSITIVE ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR;
simply POB, was coined and defined by this author
(Luthans) as
✔ “ the study and application of positive oriented human
resource strengths and psychological capacities that
cab be measured, developed, and effectively managed
for performance improvement in today’s workplace”
43. Besides being positive and a psychological
resource capacity, to be included as a POB
construct, the following operational criteria
must be met.
❖ Based on theory and research
❖ Valid measures
❖ “statelike” and thus open to development
❖ Managed for performance improvement
45. AIM OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
To use scientific methodology to discover and
promote the factors that allow individuals,
groups, organizations, and communities to
thrive.
There are three levels of positive psychology:
1. VALUE SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCES
2. POSITIVE INDIVIDUAL TRAITS AND
3. CIVIC VIRTUES AND THE INSTITUTIONS
THAT MOVE INDIVIDUALS TOWARD BETTER
CITIZENSHIP
46. EFFECTIVE POSITIVE INTENTIONS
H -> HEALTH (both physical and mental)
R -> RELATIONSHIPS ( both intimate and social)
W-> WORK ( both performance and satisfaction)
And what be called simply H-R-W model of
self development
