Abstract

  Pursuing a hobby is one ritual every individual is habituated during their early days of childhood and for many later into adulthood as well. A hobby or a leisure activity is generally pursued for pleasure and for creatively occupying one’s spare time. For some individuals pursuing a hobby would entail passion for that activity eg: a sport or an adventure activity. Very few individuals would spend time in understanding the significance of pursuing a hobby with respect to one’s personality and its implications on a professional career. This research paper purports to achieve this aim. Organizations are now using big data from the internet sites like facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and other social networking websites for recruiting of its employees. Social intelligence is now in-built in the organization’s core processes. Knowing employee’s hobbies and leisure pursuits help organizations in attracting, recruiting and retaining the right “fit” talent for the organization. This research paper highlights these factors and elaborates on how individuals could develop their hobbies for a lifetime.
