Trait Theories
Psychodynamic Theories
 Focus on the inner workings of personality,
especially internal conflicts and struggles.
 Based on the notion that man is motivated more by
unseen forces than he is controlled by conscious and
rational thought.
 This framework consists of three aspects. These are id,
ego and super ego.
1. ID- A driving force throughout life and an important source of
thinking and behaving.
2. EGO- While Id represents the unconscious part, ego is
conscious. In order to resolve the conflict, the ego gets support
from the super ego.
3. SUPER EGO- It can best be described as the conscience. The
super ego provides norms to ego to determine what is wrong or
right.

Personality Traits Of Indian Managers
Since Personality traits are highly correlated with
managerial performance, it is desirable to have a
glimpse of personality traits of Indian managers.
There are several research studies which have tried to
find out the personality traits of Indian managers.
Therefore, instead of reviewing each of these studies,
some generalizations are being presented which are as
follows :
 Indian managers are somewhat emotional, sensitive, tense,
and group dependent.
 On two personality characteristics – authoritarian and
machiavellianism there is equal distribution of managers
among high and low.
 Indian managers have need for achievement and
competence though they have lower level of maturity,
persistency and suspicion as compared to American
managers.
 Indian managers show paternalistic type of behaviour, such
as cooperation, friendliness, sympathy and nurturance.
Difference in personality traits of Indian managers
indicate that universal personality traits might not be
suitable for all type of work, because each type of work
requires specific set of personality traits.
Therefore, understanding of their own personality
traits as well as those of their subordinates is necessary
for Indian managers for being effective at workplace.
PERSONALITY MEASUREMENT

quantitative terms or value.
 There are many methods for measuring personality.
