How does schooling contribute to developing a good working personality?

Researchers believe that schooling is a primary influence on the development of POSITIVE personality traits, such as agreeableness, openness, and conscientiousness, and an importance source of SOCIALISATION for the world of work. For instance, to succeed in school, students must take on duties and responsibilities and commit to role expectations and social norms. They must also be able to delay gratification and to be task and goal directed and organised, all of which contributes to the development of positive personality traits and success in the workplace (Bleidorn, 2012). Further, some research suggests that personality, particularly conscientiousness has a STRONGER influence on success in both school and work performance than does cognitive ability (Zyphyur, Chaturvedi, & Arvey, 2008).
