Abstract: The purpose of this study to analyse the Big Five factor personality trait model (openness to experience, neuroticism, conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness) between Indian academic and industry sector. The empirical data for this study were drawn from a survey of 158 academicians and 108 firms from India to examine the validity and reliability of the two independent constructs (Indian firms and academia) and five dependent constructs (five factor model of personality). The data were analysed employing independent sample t-test. The findings of this study facilitate to understand how the academia and institution teams emerge and construct a systematic strategic approach in mapping out the actions taken to achieve results, including timeline and milestones. The results lent good support to these hypotheses. The novelty of this research is to consider the dynamic personality to define its characteristics in academics and industries.
