Introduction
Personality can be understood as a combination of qualities or characteristics set of behavior,
emotional patterns, and cognitions of an individual, which evolve and develop from
environmental and biological factors. It is usually stable and does not get change overnight
(What is Personality? - The Extensive Definitions of Personality | 123test, 2018). Many authors

of social interaction that gets influenced by the personality of that employee. Many of the
employees are very social and have a very positive personality. These people interact with
almost every member of a team. Their personality forces them to develop their interaction. On

They are reserved nature, thoughtful and focused (Mizne, 2018). They are often known as loners
in the organization and are comfortable working individually rather than in a team (Owens,
2015). In almost every organization and team, few such employees are there. Apart from the
social and introvert personalities, some other kinds of personalities are also there that impact the
