Type: article
Abstract: The study of personality has been an area of interest for researchers in the field of management and organizational behaviour for a long time. Worldwide, various theories of personality have been studied and considered to assess the various personalities from an organizational perspective. Foreign researchers and authors develop most of the theories considered. Although personality is a global concept, different nations have different theories on personality. The ancient Indian text of Ayurveda has had different theories of personality for ages, yet it is an unexplored area. Ayurveda is considered by many as an ancient alternative science of medicine. But it is much more than that; it is a lifestyle and defines various techniques towards leading a healthy and wholesome life. In this research paper, the authors talk about the origin and history of Ayurveda and the different personality theories, such as Panch Mahabhuta, Tridosha, Triguna, and Prakriti theories, as mentioned in the ancient text, and their relevance in the modern globalized world, along with research implications. Keywords: Panch Mahabhuta, Tridosha, Triguna, Vata, Pitta, Kapha, Satvik Guna, Rajasik Guna, Tamasik Guna
