A Study of Relationship Between Prakriti and Career Satisfaction

Abstract

Ayurveda is an alternative medical system that originated in India. It treats people based on the prakriti of an individual. Prakriti is the concept in Ayurveda that talks about the personality of individuals in terms of their physical as well as mental characteristics. The three basic elements, Vata, Kapha, Pitta are present in every one and their level defines the Prakriti of that individual. Prakrit impacts various aspects of life of in individual in many ways. Starting from the temperament of an individual to their physical structure as well as their behaviour. The career one chooses should be backed by one’s personality, if it is not so then the person might miserably fail in one’s own career. This paper attempted to look at this relationship between Prakriti i.e., personality as per Ayurveda and career satisfaction. A questionnaire, as a tool, was used to collect data. ANOVA was used to find the significance level of the relationship between the two variables and the current study found out, based on the data collected and analyzed that carrier satisfaction is not affected by the prakriti type of an individual. This implies that other than prakriti there are several other strong factors that influence the level of satisfaction of an individual in his or her career.
