The document discusses factors that influence personality development, including biological, cultural, social, and situational factors. Biological factors include genetics and physical characteristics. Cultural factors refer to the traditions, customs and beliefs of one's culture. Social factors comprise the relationships, interactions and environment within families, organizations, communities and societies. Situational factors can cause a person's behavior and responses to differ depending on the context or situation. All of these factors collectively shape a person's unique personality over time.

2. INTRODUCTION
 Personality can be described as: the
collective qualities, characteristics,
disposition and values of a person
which distinguish him or her from
others, and which will affect the
manners he/she reacts toward or
interacts with other people and his /her
environment.

3.  A person’s personality should be
seen as on-going development
process.
 Every person has a different
personality and set of traits.

4.  BIOLOGICAL FACTORS
 CULTURAL FACTORS
 SOCIAL FACTORS
 SITUATIONAL FACTORS

5. 1. Brain
Brain is one of the most important
factors of personality determinant. It is
generally believed that the father and
the child adopt almost the same type of
brain stimulation and the later
differences are the result of the
environment in which the child has
been grown up.
Electrical Stimulation of the Brain (ESB)
and Split Brain Psychology (SBP) and
the outcomes of genetic transmissions
and are the tools that are used by the
management of any organization to
mould and amend the employee’s
behavior to a more positive and proper
one.

6. 2. Physical Factors
One of the most important factors in
determining personality is the
‘Physical Characteristics’ of an
individual. It is believed that this
factor plays a vital role in determining
one’s behavior in any organization.
Physical features may involve the
height of a person (short or tall), his
color (white or black), his health status
(fat or skinny) and his beauty
(handsome or ugly).
These factors are involved when
interacting with any other person and
thus contribute in the personality
development in many ways.

7. 3. Heredity Factors
 Last, but not the least, the heredity factors
play a very important role as the major
determinants and factors of personality.
Heredity factors are the ones that are
determined at the time of conception. These
factors not only affect the physical features
of a person, but the intelligence level,
attentiveness, gender, temperament, various
inherited diseases and energy level, all get
affected by them.
 The example of how heredity factors
determine such a huge and significant part
of an individual’s personality can easily be
observed in children. Many children behave
exactly how their parents do. Similarly, twin
siblings also have a lot of things in common.

8. Social factors also play a vital role in
determining one’s personality. The
things that revolve and evolve around us
on a regular basis determine our
personality. The society that we live in,
the cultural environment that we face
daily, the community we get interacted
to, all are included in this factor.
Relationships, co-ordination, co-
operation, interaction, environment in
the family, organizations, workplaces,
communities, societies all contribute in
way or another as personality
determinants.

9. The culture in which one lives in, that
may involve traditional practices,
norms, customs, procedures, rules and
regulations, precedents and values, all
are important determinants of
personality.
Moreover, the creed, religion and
believes are also very important factors
of personality determinants.

10. Although these factors do not literally create and shape up
an individual’s personality, situational factors do alter a
person’s behavior and response from time to time. The
situational factors can be commonly observed when a
person behaves contrastingly and exhibits different traits
and characteristics. For example, a person’s behavior will be
totally different when he is in his office, in front of his boss,
when compared to his hangout with old friends in a bar.
In this way, situational factors impact a personality in a
significant way. They often bring out the traits of a person
that are not commonly seen.
