Self-Concept is the basic level thinking of a person about himself and his surroundings.  When a child is born, he/she cannot think upto one year.  From fifth month onwards, he starts recognizing the people and the surroundings.  By the time he/she turns one year, he can understand the feelings and the emotions of his parents and other family members in the house.  His thinking process would start slowly and it evolves fully by the time he reaches three or four years.   It takes time upto ten to twelve years to fully form a personality of the person.

This paper tries to analyse the self-concept and the formation of personality of the person with the help of research.  A sample of 468 comprising across all types of individuals is selected randomly and a questionnaire is framed and circulated taking into consideration a few parameters in connection with the self-concept and the corporate work environment.  Suitable hypotheses are framed basing on the objectives of the study and are tested with data analytical tools.  Findings and suggestions are drawn along with the limitations and further scope of the study.
