THESIS TOPIC
Industry Expectations and Employability Skills: A Critical Gap Analysis
of Personality Development Programs with Special Reference to
MBA Program
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY :
Shedding light on the skillsets which the MBA students lack because of interests,approach and what extent they fulfill
or widen the job employment gapsl. This study explored some of the basics of the personality,factors which associated
with Personality Development and then to Personality Development Programs. How Perosnality and Psychology
associated with respect to each other and the Temperament which basic personality types related to. The nature of work
and personality types are closely related to each other which fulfill the real meaning of employment and the
Unemployment. Specially in country like India where there is huge gap in the tier 2 or tier 3 MBA colleges. The student
which these colleges lack sufficient amount of skillsets which are helpful in gaining jobs,work and hence the basic
purpose of imparting education fails at certain extent that despite having MBA degree or PG diplomas the students of
these colleges has to struggle a lot for employment. This study examines the basic and common standard skillsets
required by the Industries,organization ,companies to hire the educated workforce and How the PDP programs fills the
gap between academic institutions and Industry requirement.
Henceforth, It tries to explain the gaps existed between academic institutions and Industry expectations, and upto what
extent this unemployment gap can be reduced through the PDP programs. What skill can be learnt through these courses
and What cannot be learnt ie timely investment which a person has to make in order learn or acquire the skillsets require
for the work after or prior completion of MBA program.
How the unemployment problem can be tackled through the basic skillsets and hence helpful and contribute towards the
India betternment and development in an educated manner.

14. PERSONALITY – defined as common traits, qualities which a person possesses. A person with good personality is one
who impresses others with his or her ability to get along with the people. The great Personality means a person behaves
in a way which others find it acceptable. “No Personality” means that a person's behavior is objectionable. Thus
Personality means dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by a person that uniquely influences his or
her cognitions , motivations, and behaviors in various situations. It also combines Psychological construct which is a
complex abstraction that encompasses the person’s unique genetic background and learning history,and the ways in
which these factors influence his or her responses to various environments or situations.
The study of personality explains why and how people react uniquely and often creatively to a different environment or
situation,how people handles situations,a sense of humor or expectations of the others. The primary focus of interest in
the discipline of personality development is to understand the individual’s unique ways of responding to his or her
physical , social and cultural environment which further leads to predictions of their past,present,and future behavior
and their actions accurately. In complete sense science involves the interaction between two major processes:
1) Theory
2) Research

15. A brief overview of scientific methods,including the manner in which theories are constructed and tested
through empirical research will help in understanding the research postulates or hypothesis.
Psychology and Personality related to each other :
The definition of personality which is being discussed is psychology , in the following manner:
1. Personality psychology is all about the differences between people, what people have in common, processes,
structures that we all share being a human.
2. It focuses on the whole person as an integrated individual which includes perception,thinking,emotion and
languages. How person differs in terms of social, cultural and biological dimensions.
3. Long lasting qualities that are consistent across different situations. Social psychology focus on a person’s
thinking , feeling and behaving that changes over time and under different circumstances. How the mind and
behavior changes in different social situations which affects our thinking, feeling and behaving on an
individual basis.

PERSONALITY TRAITS –
The main personality traits are classified into five large domains which Lewis Goldberg named the BIG FIVE which
later became the foundation for assessing individual differences in the way people interact with social and physical
worlds. The five fundamental ways in which people personality differs. Each of them has been given reasonably

Table 1 – The Big Five : Modern Theory of Personality
Extraversion Vs High Low
Introversion Outgoing,bold,talkative, Withdrawn,timid,
Energetic, assertive silent, reserved, shy
Agreeableness vs Warm,kind,cooperative, Cold,unkind,uncooperative,
Antagonism trusting,generous suspicious,stingy

Stability irritable,insecure imperturbable,secure
Openness Vs Imaginative , curious , reflective Unimaginative, uninquisitive,
Closedness creative, sophisticated , unreflective, uncreative,
Unsophisticated
The three domains – Extroversion,Agreeableness, and Neuroticism mainly related to ways of interacting with other
people. The other two – Conscientiousness and Openess are more general .
1) Extraversion is the tendency to actively reach out to others – comes under positive emotions. People high in
extraversion are stimulated by the social world, like to be the center of attention and often take charge. They
also like excitement and are fun loving,full of energy and to experience positive emotions. People low in
extraversion are less interested in interpersonal interactions and tend to be reserved and quite but their lack of
interest in being with the people doesn’t indicate that they are socially anxious or depressed,they just prefer to
be alone. Basic traits on which Extraversion are rated :
(Warmth,Gregariousness,Assertiveness, Activity,Excitement Seeking, Positive Emotions)
2) Agreeableness is the tendency to be altruistic ,cooperative and good natured – people high in Agreeableness
are considerate ,compassionate ,helpful and willing to compromise. They truly like people and assume that
everyone is decent and trustworthy. People low in agreeableness are more self-interested than altruistic ,more
competitive than cooperative ,and likely to be skeptical of others intentions. They also like to be cold,
antagonistic and disrespectful of the right of others. Basic traits on which Agreeableness is rated :
( Trust, Straightforwardness, Altruism,Compliance, Modesty,Tendermindedness)

17. 3) Conscientiousness is the tendency to control impulses and to tenaciously pursue goals – People are high in
conscientiousness are orderly,reliable,hardworking ,neat and punctual. They tend to plan ahead and think
things through. They are more interested in long-term than short-term goals. People low in conscientiousness
are more spontaneous ,less constrained ,less dutiful ,and less achievement –oriented. Basic traits on which
Conscientiousness is rated
( Competence, Order, Dutifulness, Achievement Striving, Self-Discipline, Deliberation)
4) Neuroticism – Represents negative emotions
(Anxiety, Hostility, Depression, Self-Consciousness, Impulsiveness, Impulsiveness, Vulnerability)
Marked by emotions instability. Emotions explained by negative emotions such as being moody or
anxious,irritability and sadness. These people are quick tempered and over react in certain situations. Stability
explained by even temper, calm,existence. A healthy personality is opposite of Neuroticism which is Emotional
Stability

imaginations, insights and those high in this trait also tend to have a broad range of interests. It comes under
positive emotions represent culture,intellect and mindful to their own feeling. They are curious in nature.
PERSONALITY & PSYCHOLOGY – The objective of this continuum is to re-examine the study of lives in the field of
personality psychology and to examine how the study of lives relates to quantitative and experimental research
traditions .

The above table helps in understanding the general theories of personality,analyzing individuals ,group differences
,studying specific processes or classes of behavior and finally understanding individual lives.
• General Theory – includes a combination of methodological approaches.
• Individual & Group differences – combined by psychometric, correlational , and factor-analytic methods.
• Specific processes and classes of behavior – combined with experimental methods.
• Studying individual persons & lives tends to rely on case study, archival , historical and interpretive methods.
The above structure tried to give answers to interesting facts , personalities of the lives of great people and also the level
of influence and development of personality development under general theory, specific individuals and group
differences, specific processes and classes of behavior ,and on individual lives.

Among all the personality traits, I want to explain personality model through RATIONAL EMOTIVE BEHAVIORAL
PERSPECTIVE called REBT based on the work of Dr Albert Ellis (1913-2007) who observed that Irrationality is a key
component of the human personality which leads to cognitive , emotional, and behavioral dysfunction. Irrationality
means tendency of people to prefer short-term satisfaction of desires to long-term benefits. REBT views brain as the
seat of personality and genetics as the blueprint of the brain development which is same as irrationality that destroys
much of our personality.
The ancient Greeks classified the temperaments of people into four principle categories which are Sanguine, Choleric,
Melancholic and Phlegmatic. These four temperaments suit certain types of careers and jobs. Thus it is always advisable
to have an aptitude test and temperament test done simultaneously. The temperament test will give you a set of careers,
which suit your temperament. The aptitude test on the other hand will help you to short list of careers that match your

20. skills. Let's take a closer look.
Sanguine: The people with Sanguine temperament are very social, and tend to maintain good relations and friendships.
This temperament is such, that the person likes to be with people. These people excel in communication and perform
functions in a task oriented manner. Human resources, coaching, teaching, marketing and sales are some of the best
careers where a person with Sanguine temperament will excel.
Choleric: People having a Choleric temperament usually have a great capability to analyze. They are very fond of
planning, acquiring knowledge, configuring and inventing. People with this kind of temperament must consider career
options such as architecture, managers and analysts.
Melancholic: The people with Melancholic type of temperament are thoughtful, accurate, considerate and artistic. The
Melancholic temperament is best suited for careers such as engineering, Mathematics and accounts. The strict discipline
of these people and a capability to discipline others makes them really good at mathematical applications.
Phlegmatic: The temperament Phlegmatic, makes people deliberate, quiet and task oriented. People with this
temperament should consider fields such as web designing, programmers, economists and for that matter any place
where a person should have a capability to observe well.
These temperaments are often considered by the people of the human resource department before appointing a person is
to a particular post.

This type of study fully examines and integrate the vast body of thought and research on this type of subjects. REBT
uses a multifactorial and biological view of personality. Elli’s assertion that people are innately irrational has been
validated by numerous studies. Almost all models of personality should integrate neurological research , Intelligence,
common reflexes developed by different species over a period of time.
Indian Personality – Success factors

External appearance is visible factor of one's personality. However the proper functioning of the Nervous System ,
Healthy body is more important in the development of complete personality. Hormones needless to say makes people
nervous, irritable, decrease persona, the charms of ad impressions while interacting with others which indirectly
controlled by Nervous system. Determination and Strong Willpower can make an ordinary person into extraordinary
person. Purity of thoughts , thought process , logical and analytical assimilation of ideas can transform anything, life
goals,self-actualization,fulfillment of desires, or what a person desires it all started from the brain, which thus the most
important factors in the personality development.
Research on the biological foundations of normal personality rarely has focused on the complex interactions among
higher-level and lower-level neural systems. Now greater attention is paid to the role of two hemispheres and to
multiple neurotransmitters. This study is supported by brain imaging to check the brain activity,hormonal variations in
the body liquids to study how the different areas of the brain work and how different biochemically affect its
functioning and behavior.
BRAIN SYSTEM AND PERSONALITY:
Pavlov Theory 1927, contributed towards the how the brain system affects the personality. He formulated the four
Hippocratic temperaments by distinguishing between inhibitory and excitatory processes.
Choleric individuals are Melancholic high in inhibition.
high in excitations
Sanguine also high in excitation Phlegmatic high in inhibition, also maintained
,aligned towards equilibrium equilibrium
Subsequently Pavlov in 1935 distinguished three different characteristics of the nervous system :
1. Strength related to the working capacity of neural cells (whether in excitatory or inhibitory processes).
2. Equilibrium or balance related to the ratio between the strength of inhibition and the strength of excitation.
3. Mobility related to the capacity to change and alternate excitation and inhibition in meeting continuously
changing environmental demands.
Later Nebylitsin 1972 identified general activity including mental,motor,and social. Emotionality including sensitivity ,
impulsivity, emotional weakness as two main dimensions of temperament. Cortical-reticular system was responsible for
regulating activity and that limbic system was responsible for regulating emotionality. Introversion-Extraversion work is
encouraged everywhere low vs high level stimulation in different circumstances. Introverts are brainier than extroverts.
Gray proposes different physiological system process signals of punishment and nonreward on one hand and reward and

23. non-punishment on the other hand. Punishment and non reward are processed by a behavioral inhibition system which
activates fear and anxiety and suppresses behavior. Reward and non punishment are processed by a behavioral approach
system which activates behavior , above two system respond to signals or reward and punishment. A third system fight-
flight system responds to unconditioned negative stimuli. The flight-flight system activates either escape or aggressive
behavior. The three systems are interconnected and jointly contribute to behavior. Their actions and interactions are
modulated not only by energy supplied by arousal mechanisms but also by decision mechanisms.Since different system
impel different sorts of action,a decision mechanism must be involved so that the motor system receives commands that
do not conflict.

Manufacturing Sector :
Manufacturing is the business activity which converts the basic raw material into finished goods. Manufacture is
derived from the latin work manu factus or “made by hand”. Small shops , hand driven machine tools, power driven
machine tools ,Electric Furnace transformed the manufacturing sector at mass production level. The basic goal of
manufacturing sector is the work and functioning of work ,worker in a productive manner. Output of work done what is
called productivity should only be measured after providing good on job training ,with proper skills and knowledge the
trained workers always played key role in the knowledge economy which directly push the growth in the manufacturing
sector . Hence it is the proper on job training ,good working environment and basic skillsets which is studied in the
research work perspective. And thus it is the relation between :
1. Humans,

mutually beneficial and interest based. It brings capital, techonology transfer, proven work methods in
terms of doing things from one country to another country and competitive advantage in knowledge
based economy with good price and good quality products. It provides GDP contribution and income
in host country. New jobs are created which requires above average skills. Thus in order to acquire
work related skills, proper on job training is also commenced in long term helped in technology
transfer in host country and play a key role in overall development of host country.
7. Skillsets and Knowledge : In terms of technology transfer following are the basic questions which
are referred from Internet book resources “Competitive Advantage of Regions and Nations “ by Dr

The corporate overview of the business system integration gives the reporting capabilities of the all interoperated
departments in an organization. It explains how the basic work flow and information flow and how the other
departments are related to one another. More importantly the reports of any year, and the information which can be
collected any time or requirements between external system (vendor side) and internal system (department side) which
helped in the future trends of the business or business forecasts or the performance of an organization as far as their
resources,finance,market etc are concerned.
9. On Job training and Education: The basic of manufacturing sector workhorse is shifted from the
labor intensive work to automated work, since most of the manufacturing work requires doing
different types of work at the same time. All workers should posses following skillsets :
1. Problem Solving
2. Communication

5. Basic Machinery, Related Technology, skillsets associated
6. Basic Automation , processes
Basic education requires minimum high school diploma , Professional education include
technical diploma, degree.
10. Technology Transfer and R&D :
Technology transfer is defined as the technology used in the manufacturing products, technical know-how about the
product right from the designing part to final part. Technology transfer is limited to training of individuals and delivery
of services,support in other company,country or project work to strengthen the company position which can only be
possible through technology transfer. It also include machinery and equipment knowledge,toolkits,how machinery and
plants worked. It is of two types:
1. Direct Technology transfer : specific technology development linked through research
projects.
2. Indirect Technology transfer : exchange of knowledge through informal discussions,
publications, journals etc.
Eg Seimens building power plant in Russia,IBM set up R&D lab in India.
Research and Development:
R&D is important and required to create new technology and to absorb new technology for product and process
enhancements. The main problem associated with R&D of the Manufacturing,or Computers or Pharmaceutical sector is
that it required heavy investment ,equipments and the basic set up to create necessary system which helps in developing
the new technology. In most of the nations R&D investment is funded by private industry significantly and it is
important for productivity,growth, innovation ie new products,processes. 1% increase in R&D budget increases the
growth,innovation by 20% result conducted in a study under IMF working paper on manufacturing sector productivity.
India should focus on the R &D funding in Manufacturing,Service,Computers,Pharmaceutical,Retailing sectors for
overall country development and betterment at international level.
Electricity:
The objective of any power system is to generate electricityand transmit it to various locations minimize transmission
losses at economical rate. The power system comprises of generating stations,distribution and transmission,
consumers .Since electricity is required at various levels for example industries,domestic consumer
consumption,manufacturing plant. The load factor is analysed at every level, that how much power is generated and
how much it is consumed balancing the demand ,supply gap. Following are the conventional resources of energy :
1. Hydro power plant
2. Thermal power plant
3. Nuclear power plant
4. Gas/oil based plant.
HYDRO POWER PLANTS :

29. Water is main resource to generate electric power at higher altitude where kinetic energy of the stored water converted
mechanical energy of turbines converted into electrical energy.
THERMAL POWER STATIONS :
Fuel or coal is the main source of electricity generation in thermal power plants. Burning of fuel creates heated steam
which in turn rotate the turbine blades produces electricity. Heat energy is converted into mechanical energy converted
into electrical energy.
NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS :
Nuclear reactor is used to produce the necessary heat . Uranium,Thorium,Plutonium are the basic nuclear material or
fuel which drives the nuclear reactor to produce electricity. Uranium is commonly used to generate the nuclear energy
by nuclear fission reaction ie spilitting the nucleus matter which passes through boiler produces steam and drives the
turbines to create electrical energy.
GAS /OIL BASED PLANTS :
Chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy to produc electrical energy.Through internal combustion engine
energy is produced.
LOAD FACTOR –
Load factor is divided into following 3 parts :
1. Domestic Load : Load given by domestic appliances lights,fans,refrigerators, ACs,motor pumps or other small
household applicances. Peak real load refers to maximum real power load during a particular time.
2. Commercial Load: load consists of lights,fans,heater, ACs or other electrical appliances used for commercial purpose
such a shops,markets,office spaces.
3. Industrial load : load divided into small,medium and heavy depeding on required power range. Eg Small industries
requires load upto 25 KW ,medium industries requires load between 25 KW and 100 KW and heavy industries require
loads more than 500 KW
LOAD MODELLING :
Electrical load that varies as the supply voltage is changed. Loads are grouped into 3 categories depending on how their
demand varies as a function of voltage .
Constant power – Demand is constant regardless of voltage
Constant current – Demand is proportional to voltage
Constant Impedance – Power is proportional to square of voltage.
The general formulae for this modeling can be written as –
P = P~o(V/Vo)~ n
Q = Q~o(V/Vo)~n
P~o,Q~o,V~o are nominal real power,reactive power and voltage on per unit basis.
n=o for constant power
n=1 for constant current
n=2 for constant impedance.

30. Referance taken from the book Electric Power Transmission and Distribution – S Sivanagaraju.
Skilled Resource :
Skilled Resource includes 2 types of personnel –
5. Those who acquired higher education ,but lacking skillsets (Manager level)
6. Those who acquired skillsets,but lacking higher education (Operator , technician level)
Our understanding shows that basic manufacturing process,working knowledge is more important
than management skills and technical skills. As it takes years of practices to understand and achieve
basic understanding,reducing mistakes as the basic understanding level is developed only after
working in real. Training only helps but actual office work ie manufacturing work can only be learnt
after working in a production plant or manufacturing plant for years. It creates a basic conflict whom a
CEO should promote for higher work responsibility. Skilled workers are difficult to find and those
who are skilled as well highly qualified they are not easily available worldwide. A typical trait mostly
found in migrant workers shifted to US or Europe difficult to fill the job gaps because of work
politics,gender baising or work conflict situations.
Smaller companies is closesly aligned with every work personnel,however mid level or large
companies typical companies which are tightly result or output oriented companies which demands
work output in all tight situations. Therefore in mid or large firms skilled resource means good level
of aptitude,understanding ,result oriented personnel who are able to give double output,create
competitive advantage for the firm.
Infrastructure (Production Plan and Control) :
Infrastructure part includes basic machinery and equipment setup required for manufacturing products. In Production
plan control defined the manufacturing forecasts. Normally it takes a month or two to deliver the order goods. Once
order is placed it is assumed that depending on availability of resources it can be delivered in a month or so,this is what
we understand by forecasts. Time taken by a component to be manufactured by machines. Capacity plan problem is also
solved by time delivery,Advance order booking,or SLAs for on demand or on time delivery.
Process Design :
Manufacturing system consists of 3 parts Input,Process, and Output.
1. Input – Materials such as coal,ores,hydrocarbons converted to produce goods. Money is most important input
in setting up plants,and required from the beginning to finished goods. Energy is another important input
because it drives the machines and required for the functioning of a production plant.
2. Process – Processes are the the basic work methods in an enterprise. Inputs required to produce output
.Management provides PLOC(Planning,Leading,Organizing,directing,controlling) which is essential in order to
run a plant at profit level. Design part consists of creating plans for the products which are attractive,work
well,and offered at low cost. Finished goods are designed first by shop workers,draftman,engineers .
Production part consist of machines,processes,humans to meet the objectives of the
firm,customers,stakeholders.
INPUT   OUTPUT
Customer Demand
Material,money,energy Design,Production Plan Consumer goods,
Manpower,skills capital goods,quality,profit
PROCESS

31. 3. OUTPUT – Output of a manufacturing system is finished goods. Consumer goods are goods which people buy
for personal use eg food,cars. Capital goods are goods purchased by manufacturing firms to make consumer
goods eg Machine tools,computer controlled robots,and plants.
Thus process part is important part for a manufacturing plant to utilize its manpower,machines and goods
produced at efficient level and minimise the gaps,losses at human,machine or tool level. Change in consumer
values,environment,quality are important dependent variables which are studied in details as far as
manufacturing system is referred.

2. Maturity Principle – People become more socially dominant, agreeable, conscientious, and emotionally stable
with age.
3. Plasticity Principle – Personality traits are open systems that can be influenced by the environment at any age.
4. Role Continuity – consistent roles rather than consistent environments are the cause of continuity in personality
over time.

40. 5. Identify Development principle – with age, the process of developing , committing to , and maintaining an
identity leads to greater personality consistency
6. Social investment principle – Investing in social institutions, such as age-graded social roles, outside of self are
one of the driving mechanisms of personality development, in general and greater maturity, in particular.
7. Corresponsive Principle – The effect of life experience on personality development is to deepen the
characteristics that lead people to those experiences in the first place.
