G2R Strategies to Minimize Dropouts in Peneraju Skil Iltizam Cellular

Tower Technician Program

A persons personality is defined as a set of traits that can explain or

predict a persons behaviour in a variety of situations. In other words, personality
is a set of characteristics that reflect the way a person think and act in a given
situation. Because of this, the personality has a lot to do with how we relate to
one another at work.

How we think, what we feel, and our normal behaviour characterize what
our colleagues come to expect of us both in behaviour and the expectation of
their interactions with us. The important thing to remember about attitudes is
that they can change over time, but usually some sort of positive experience
needs to occur for our attitudes to change dramatically for the better.
(Angelina R. Sutin & Paul T. Costa, 2009)
