behavioral style, personal characteristics and aptitude measurement.
1. Introduction
The effectiveness of the character education systems helps in maintaining the efficiency
of the performance of the workforce through the identification of different mental capabilities,
behavioral style, personal characteristics and aptitude measurement (Damon, 2013). The
identification of the change in the systems of the business is dependent on the functioning of the
workforce. Character education helps in maintaining the sustainability and mental stability in the
mindset of the people working for the organization. It helps the organization in retaining a
balanced workforce while operating as per the objectives of the business in the markets.
The research aims at undertaking a study, which will be judging the relevance of the
character education and the manner it affects the different mental capabilities, behavioral style,
personal characteristics of the people recruited in the organization. It also helps the organization
in judging the aptitude capability of the people working in the different segments of the
organization while operating on the common objectives of the business (Ecclestone, 2012). The
development of the cognitive abilities of the individuals and the manner in which the people
react to different situations is based on the characters that they hold. Therefore, the study of the
different behavioral trends is facilitated through the induction of the character study, which is
aimed by the research.

outcomes related with it are distinguished (Lockwood, 2015). Character education research
focuses on maintaining self-discipline, trustworthiness, responsibility along with self-discipline.
The research will on such subject has extensively focused on analyzing certain traits in character
education such as respect, honesty, kindness as well as empathy. There are several ways through
which the students must indicate good character. This concept considers that children learn an
array of behaviors those when repeated turn into habits (Davis et al., 2013). This also facilitates
in developing a good character. From analyzing the previous researches in this subject, it has
been gathered that character education might not be a major focus in most of the schools but is
deemed to be an unavoidable aspect.
This must be taken into consideration by the schools for future inclusion. Character
education can also be considered as a proactive manner of supporting the students those might be
at risk of not finishing school (Heckman & Kautz, 2013). The influences of the character
education program are also deemed to have better impacts on several issues that are dealt by the
schools in the recent years because of drug use, aggression, decreased school attendance along
with low academic achievement. Most pf the previous reasechers also believe that character
education programs can be effective in dealing with issues such as school violence along with
drug addiction (Rushdoony, 2014).
3. Topic of Research Proposal
The topic that is selected in this research will be “The effectiveness of character

aptitude measurement.”
