• Self-concept is how a person perceives his
behavior, lities, and unique characteristics. It is an
idea of self, constructed from the beliefs one
holds about 1 and the responses of others.
• Self-concept is largely a reflection of the reactions
others towards the individual.

self-perspective or self-structure) is a collection
lies about oneself. Generally, self-concept
embodies ariswer to the question "Who am I?. "

4. • Personal Identity
Personal identity is the unique numerical identity of a
person over time.
Personal identity is the concept one develops about self
that evolves over the course of his life.
This may include aspects of one's life that he has no
control over, such as where he grew up or the color of the
skin, as well as choices he makes in life, such as how he
spends his time and what he believes.
A person demonstrates portions of his personal identity
outwardly through what he wears and how he interacts
with other people. One may also keep some elements of
his personal identity to himself, even when these parts of
self are very important.

5. BODY IMAGE
• Body image is the perception that a person has of
his physical self and the thoughts and feelings that
result from that perception including physical
appearance, structure or function.
• Body image consists of the ways people view
themselves; their memories, experiences,
assumptions, and comparisons about their own
appearances; and their overall attitudes towards
their own respective heights, shapes, and weights.
These feelings can be positive, negative or both,
and are influenced by individual and
environmental factors.

6. Body image is determined by four factors:
• The way you SEE your body
• The way you FEEL about your body. This relates
to the amount of satisfaction or dissatisfaction you
feel about your shape, weight, and individual
body parts.
• The way you THINK about your body. This can
lead to preoccupation with body shape and
weight.
• Behaviors in which you engage as a result of your
body image encompass your behavioral body
image. When a person is dissatisfied with the way
he/she looks, he may isolate himself as he feels
bad about his appearance.

7. ROLE PERFORMANCE
• Role performance is the actual behavior and expression of
an individual occupying a role. It is the way in which
individual perceives his ability to carry out significant
roles such as parent, student, teacher, friend etc. Each
individual has multiple roles and personal needs. Many
times conflict occurs between these two. To function
effectively the person must know the expected behavior
and values and should be able to meet the role
requirements. Fulfilling the expected role leads to an
enhanced sense of self.

8. SELF-ESTEEM
• Self-esteem (also known as self-worth) refers to
the extent to which a person likes, accepts or
approves him, or how much he values himself.
• Self-esteem refers to a person's feelings of self-
worth or the value that he places on himself.
• Our self-esteem often depends on how we
evaluate ourselves. In other words, we make
personal comparisons and validate how others
respond to us. For example, when our managers
respond favorably to our achievements, we are
encouraged by our performance and our self-
esteem grows.

9. FORMATION OF SELF CONCEPT
• The formation of self-concept begins during early childhood. It
continues to develop and evolve throughout our life. Our self-
concept can affect various aspects of our lives, including our
careers. Most theories suggest that there's a strong relationship
between self-concept and our motivation levels at work.

10. • In an organization, people take on projects, work towards
different goals and make choices that drive the business. We
generally direct our efforts to complete projects and achieve
milestones. By accommodating these external changes, we
make room for personal growth. It can be said that our
workplace behavior is tied to our view about ourselves—who
we are and what we want to achieve.
