RELATED LITERATURE
A. Personality
Generally, personality means a coherent picture of a person/human nature
pertaining to similarities and differences in other person. Therefore, personality is
defined as a dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by a person
influencing cognitions, motivations and behaviors in various situations. Personality is
usually arrived by the amount of measurable traits/characteristics a person exhibits
during exposure to events. When personality is implied to teaching profession/teacher,
it is the use as teaching personality or teacher personality. 4 According to Pervin and
John (in Khodadady, 2012) personality is defined as a unique expression of individual
differences in behavior and experience.5
Cruickshank et al. (2003) stated that personality is the totality of character and
behavioral traits peculiar to an individual. No two persons are alike in this respect, not
even identical twins.6 It is also supported by Callahan (in Arif, 2012) stated that
personality may be viewed as the dynamic organization of those traits and
characteristic patterns of behavior that are unique to the individual.
B. Teachers Personality
Teachers personality refers to inner-qualities of a teacher, observed from the
teachers expression of values, beliefs, behavior, and attitude (Sronge, Tucker &
Hindman, 2004). There are several key indicators associated with virtuous teacher
personality. Effective personal qualities include being caring, fair and respectful,
having positive attitude towards the teaching profession, participating in social
interactions with students, being sincere, and practicing reflective teaching. Building
awareness regarding the importance of such values is the first step in teaching.
Effective teachers demonstrate respect to students in a variety of ways, from
their personalized treatments to how they work with students families. Respectful
teachers know their students by name, value each individuals ability, and are aware
