1. Definition and Etymology of Philosophy

"Philosophy is the love of wisdom", The rather vague definition 'love of wisdom'
comes from the origin and etymology of the Greek word 'philosophy': philo ("love")
and sophia ("wisdom"). According to an ancient tradition Pythagoras of Croton coined
the Greek word 'philosopher' meaning 'lover of wisdom' to contrast with 'wise man'
(sophist), saying of himself that he was only a man who loved wisdom (a wisdom-loving
man), not a wise man. And the example of Socrates whose only wisdom was that he did
not think he knew what he did not know, that he did not think himself wise when he was
not further suggests that it was modesty that invented the word 'philosopher' ("lover of
wisdom"), a word from when the word 'philosophy' ("the pursuit of wisdom by the lover
of wisdom") came and also, Philosophy is the rational investigation of logic, ethics, and
metaphysics. In other words, Philosophy is philosophizing -- i.e. seeking to
understand our experience of the world, namely our life (Ethics), ways of
thinking (Logic), and all of reality (Metaphysics), as best we can, rationally by
the light of natural reason alone.

2. Western and Eastern definition of Philosophy and their Differences

Western Philosophy (Ancient Greeks, Europeans and Americans) usually focused on

five categories: Metaphysics - the study of existence, Epistemology - the study of
knowledge, Ethics - the study of action, Politics - the study of force, Aesthetics - the
study of art and Eastern Philosophy (Mostly China and India) also explored the five main
categories, but they didn't really make a distinction between certain categories and they
didn't really make a distinction on: Metaphysics and Epistemology and Philosophy and
Religion

On the other hand, their differences in Western Philosophy the philosophers tend
to use a lot of logic, ideas reasoning and categorization, they tend to break down
the ideas as much as they could. They also focused on ideas in parts rather than
the whole idea while Eastern Philosophy focus to look at an idea as a whole and
 they preferred to generalize the ideas and show how they'll reflect the same truths
and also Western Philosophy focuses on finding the differences in ideas while the
Eastern Philosophy focuses on the similarities.

3. Different Branches of Philosophy

Six Branches of Philosophy

Epistemology - the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and scope
(including limitations) of knowledge. It addresses four main questions. 1) What is
knowledge? 2) How is knowledge acquired? 3) What do people know? 4) How do we
know what we know?

Logic – is the study of reasoning. Logic is often divided into two parts, inductive
reasoning, and deductive reasoning.

Metaphysics – is concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the
world. Cosmology and ontology are the two traditional branches of metaphysics.
Cosmology seeks to understand the origin, evolution, structure, and fate of the
universe at large, as well as the natural laws that keep it in order. Ontology is the
investigation into what types of things there are in the world and what relations these
things bear to one another. Thereafter, metaphysics became the philosophical enquiry
of a non-empirical character into the nature of existence.

Ethics – also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy which seeks to

address questions about morality; that is, about concepts like good and bad, right, and
wrong, justice, virtue, etc.

Aesthetics – is the branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of beauty, art, taste,
and the creation and appreciation of beauty. It is more scientifically defined as the
study of sensory or sensori-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of
sentiment and taste.

Political Philosophy – is the study of concepts such as liberty, justice, property,

rights, law, and the enforcement of a legal code by authority: what they are, why (or
even if) they are needed, what makes a government legitimate, what rights and
freedoms it should protect and why, what form it should take and why, what the law
is, and what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, if any, and when it may
be legitimately overthrown, if ever. Three central concerns of political philosophy
have been the political economy by which property rights are defined and access to
capital is regulated, the demands of justice in distribution and punishment, and the
rules of truth and evidence that determine judgments in the law.

 Assignment #4

What is Work Ethic, and its Purpose

In its simplest definition, a system of moral principles is called ethics. They affect how
people lead their lives, for life is an unbroken stream of decision-making and ethics are
concerned with what is the right moral choice, for individuals and for society. This is also
known as a moral philosophy. The etymology of ethics is derived from the Greek
word ethos, meaning habit, custom, disposition or character.

Ethics are therefore concerned with these sorts of moral decision: how to live an ethical
life, rights, and responsibilities, right and wrong language, what is good and bad and so
on. Contemporary notions of ethics have been handed on from philosophy, religions, and
global cultures. Ethics are debated in topics such as human rights, right to life, and
professional behavior.

In a business, an ethical code is a defined set of principles which guide an organization in

its activities and decisions and the firm’s philosophy may affect its productivity,
reputation, and bottom line.

Among staff ethical behavior ensures work is completed with integrity and honesty and
staff that are ethical adhere to policies and rules while working to meet the aims of the
enterprise. An ethically positive, healthy work culture enhances morale among
employees.

Work Ethic
Traditionally, work ethic has been understood as a value based on hard work and
diligence. Capitalists, for example, believe in the necessity of working hard and in
consequential ability of enhancing one’s character. Socialists suggest that a concept of
“hard work” is deluding the working class into being loyal workers of the elite; and
working hard, in itself, is not necessarily an honorable thing, but simply a way to create
greater wealth for those at the summit of the economic pyramid.

These values have been challenged and characterized as submissive to social convention
and authority, and not meaningful in and of itself, but only if a positive result accrues. An
alternative perception suggests that the work ethic is now subverted in a broader, and
readily marketed-to society. This perspective has given us the phrase “work smart”.

In recent times, many say that a work ethic is now obsolete and that it is no true any
longer that working more means producing more, or even that more production leads to a
better life… this is, of course, not to be confused with quality productivity.

IMPORTANCE OF WORK ETHIC

Those with a strong work ethic have inculcated principles that guide them in their work
behavior. This leads them to consistent higher productivity, without any prodding that
many require to stay on track. Therefore, whether staff are naturally this way or need be
trained, if possible, into such an attitude is determined by the managers.

Productive Work
Individuals with a good work ethic are usually very productive people who work at a
faster pace. They regularly accomplish more work, more quickly than those who lack a
work ethic, for they do not quit until the work which they are tasked is completed. At
least in part, this is also since they wish to appear to be stronger employees, and thus,
they wish to appear to be of more benefit to their managers and the company.

Cooperation
Cooperative work can be highly beneficial in a business entity, individuals with a good
work ethic know this well. They understand the usefulness of cooperation, e.g., teamwork
they often put an extensive amount of effort into working well with others.

Such people usually respect company authority enough to cooperate with anyone else
with whom they are paired, in a polite and productive way, even if the individuals in
question are not so ethically inclined.

Ethics in Organizational Culture

Employers, executives, and employees, all adhering to an ethics code stimulate an ethical
work culture. Business leaders must lead by exhibiting the behavior they wish to see in
employees.

Reinforce ethical conduct by rewarding employees who show the integrity and values
that coincide with company policy, and discipline those who make the wrong ethical
decisions. Positive ethics culture improves morale in a business, plus it may increase
productivity and employee retention which cuts the costs of employee churning,
consequentially financially benefitting an organization as improved productivity
improves company efficiency.

BASIC WORK ETHIC FOR AN

ORGANISATION
Ideally, the policies a business operates with are compassion, fairness, honor,
responsibility, and integrity. One of the best ways to communicate organizational ethics
is by training employees about company standards. Basic work ethics for any
organization should include:

 Uniform rules and regulations: An ethical organizational example is the

common treatment of all staff, i.e., with the same respect, regardless of race,
culture, religion, or lifestyle, with equal chances for promotion. Therefore, small
company managers should desist from favoring any one employee, for it can lead
to lawsuits and is also highly counterproductive.

 Communication of the rules and regulation to all employees: Company

policies must be clearly communicated to each employee with a transparency at
all levels of the hierarchy. Employees are the spine of all organizations and should
have a say in the goals and objectives of a firm.

 Respect for Employees: Respect employees and in return receive the same.

Regulations should not be so rigid, and therefore, do not expect staff to attend
work two days before a marriage. If somebody is not well, do not ask them to
attend office unless or until there’s an emergency.
  Allow a degree of freedom to employees without constant micro-
management: Key roles of responsibility need to be established on the first day
of joining with responsibilities commensurate with a person’s expertise.
Employees should be inducted into training if needed.

 Clear cut salary and promotion policy: Employees crib if they are underpaid.
Make sure they get what is deserved and decided in the presence of the person. A
major attrition factor is a poor appraisal, promotion prospects are ideally based on
merit, not favor. Clarity is crucial.

 Clear and uniform holiday schedule: It is the responsibility of human resource

professionals to prepare the holiday calendar at the beginning of the year and
circulate the same among all employees.

 Effects of Work Ethics within an organization: Preferably a workplace ethic

culture will ensure that employers guide and mentor staff appropriately while
management treats all as equal. Transparency is essential.

 How Leadership ethics and Employee ethics can impact the

organization: Owner and executive level accountability is a vital function of
leadership. Executives, as equally as employees, are expected to be honest and
transparent. Organizations need to abide by ethical norms; all of which benefit the
consumer, the society, and the firm.

 What is the core ethical elements that define the ethics of an

organization: There are at least four elements that aim to create an ethical
behavioral culture of employees within an organization?
o A written code of ethics and standards (ethical code).

o Ethics training for executives, managers, and employees.

o The availability of ethical situational advice (i.e. advice lines or offices).

o A confidential reporting system.

HOW TO DEVELOP STRONG

WORK ETHIC
The employment market is now so competitive that if one does not have a positive work
ethic, then employers do not bat an eyelid about looking for someone who meets their
firm’s requirement.

As a positive work ethic is vital to a business success, then each person from the CEO to
new staff, must inculcate this to keep the company functioning optimally. Get to work
promptly, arriving late always starts a workday badly, and signals that you are not
committed. Take into consideration traffic, weather and so on and leave home to reach on
time. Take responsibility for your actions, which includes being punctual.

Step 1: Be professional about your work

Professionalism is beyond a clean shirt, for it includes one’s values, attitude, and
demeanor. Practice being cordial and positive while refraining from gossip. Knowing
how to communicate constructively and positively, while respecting the feelings of others
is an invaluable tool. Respect others and develop a reputation for having integrity,
meaning honesty, fairness, and consistency in what you do and say.

Reliability and honesty: Work ethic is more than completing long hours for its
foundation is integrity. To develop integrity, one can:

 Act the same when people are not watching you, as when they are.

 Perform consistently at the same level of quality. Be conscientious. Be honest in

all things.
Honesty isn’t a business policy; it is a state of mind.

Deliver best outputs: A work ethic is fundamental to success at anything, plus it makes
you a valuable employee. For career advancement this is more important than ever
before. In work assignments strive to exceed expectations by paying attention to details
and making the quality of work your central priority. Everyone can work fast, but few
will deliver best quality outputs with few mistakes.

Keep everything in an organized method like a good file system for documents (both soft
and hard copy), so you can retrieve these easily to get on with the essential tasks. All of
us have times when we are more productive, some in the early morning, some later at
night. Identify and schedule the difficult work to be completed in those periods.

Be consistent in delivering good quality work and earn good reputation: Everything
worthwhile accomplishing requires discipline. Remain focused on a long-term goal while
avoiding getting side-tracked by a short-term gratification. To be persistent and able to
follow through on assignments… Train yourself.

However productive you may be, there is always an opportunity to increase one’s level of
quality work. Effectiveness means doing the work that matters. Be effective first, then
become efficient. Efficient is achieving improved output in less time. There is no point in
becoming efficient at doing that non-value-added work.

Step 2: Manage your time

Know your strength and weaknesses (including potential distractions, so you can
avoid them): Evaluate work. Identifying one’s weaknesses and planning to improve
these areas builds a stronger work ethic. One way of evaluating this is to create a list
summarizing the skills and requirements of your work, and the strengths and weaknesses.
Be honest about weaknesses, and what it is that distracts you – this is step one in learning
to manage those weaknesses.

Distractions are everywhere – Twitter, Facebook, TV, mobile, etc. Complete these before
arriving at work for a no-distraction period. Turn off the internet and see how you start
doing work in due time. Ditch the unimportant. If the work is nice-to-do but not need-to-
do. Stop it.

Accelerate becoming a more productive employee by regularly visualizing yourself as

channeled toward higher accomplishments. Vision yourself as highly efficient and feed
the subconscious mind with this vision until it is accepted as a command. The individual
that you ‘‘vision”, is the individual that you “become”. Lastingly successful people have
one common denominator: they focus on strengths and manage around any weaknesses

Set yourself deadlines for delivering even small tasks: Being able to complete your
tasks and finish what you start, is an essential part of character building. You cannot
imagine a fully mature, fully functioning person who is unable to finish what she begins.
The development of this habit is the key to long-term success. Don’t waste time by doing
stuff that is not important? Constantly evaluate to check which things absolutely must get
done.

Prioritize tasks and set the most important ones in the morning: Complete projects
and tasks immediately. A trademark behavior of a worker with a poor work ethic is
delaying work until another day, which usually only leads to an incomplete or late
project.

Avoid procrastination: Procrastinating is a great waste. Imagine all that could be

accomplished by eliminating procrastination from this moment on. To overcome
procrastination, first realize that it is not the real issue. Procrastination, laziness, bad time
management, or lack of discipline, are merely symptoms of the issue. The real reason is
beneath this. You can also use the Pomodoro technique to avoid procrastination.

Avoid negative talk and gossip: Keep the lazy, the negative minded, and the
unproductive, at arm’s length, for it is a psychological prison. Associate with ambitious,
hard-working people, and soon count yourself amongst them.

 Provide feedback that improves situations and builds people up.

 Be an active listener and keep an open mind.

Step 3: Keep a balance and deliver consistent

high-performance work

Do sport, sleep well, and socialize: Play is best when it is earned, equally sleep. Earn
sleep by working hard on one’s goals in the day. A good work ethic is not just being
glued to a computer. It is also understanding how to take care with decent sleep and
eating nutritiously. Take time to relax and recharge while keeping priorities in your life
clear, helps maintain a good perspective at work.

Step 4: Develop good work habits

Steer the self-development path towards choosing to be an employee with a strong ethic,
after all, creating a habit for oneself is really a question of being an action-minded
person. The ‘doing component’ flows easily when embracing the ‘being part.’

Create and learn habits: Values to inculcate and habituative:

 Valuing punctuality and attendance.

 Valuing time, orderliness, neatness, and speed.

 Working smarter but not harder; being psychologically self-employed.

 Playing an internal game of working yet enjoying the importance of relaxation

and rest.

“Do it now” habit: Never leave ‘till tomorrow what can be accomplished today.’ Good
ethics habituative both attitude, action, and inevitably – consequence: how you do, what
you do this moment.

 The initiative habit – positivity.

 The main cause of poor productivity and self-sabotage is procrastination, for

many reasons, including the perceptions that a task is unpleasant, may lead to
negative consequences, or is overwhelming.

 Cultivate flexibility.

“Do it right” habit: A disciplined habit makes a difference in the long term. Don’t try to
break bad habits. Alternatively, choose preferable substitutes that you move forward to,
in place of the old ones.

Other good habits:

Concentration is the ability to stay on a task until it is completed, by working in a straight
line to get from where one is, without distraction or diversion, to the destination, i.e.,
completion of the work.

 Get off to a good start.

 Clean up and get organized.

 Plan activities.

 Streamline work and emphasize the important work.

 Concentrate on one work task at a time until completion.

 Work steadily.

 Make smart use of technology.

 Be in control of office paper, work in-basket, and e-mail.

 Multitask on routine matters.

 Make better use of time.

Do not forget to create some quiet, uninterrupted time!

CORE ELEMENTS OF A STRONG

WORK ETHIC
It is difficult to define the elements of good work ethics, as it is such an individualistic
approach and thinking. What may be good work ethics for me may not be the same for
you. Much depends upon how each organization or person looks at work ethics and the
moral values that each follows. What moral values you practice in daily life will define
your attitude towards work and your work ethics. But there are a few common elements
that are universally followed, and employers look for it in their employees.

 Honesty: This is the core element of work ethics; all the other elements are based
upon your honesty. Be honest about your successes and failures, take credit only
where due, do not steal other’s works or ideas, and own up to your failures.

 Integrity: Do not let people down, try to fulfill your commitments, and be
consistent in your thoughts, action, and behavior.

 Impartiality/Fairness: Be fair to all, do not practice favoritism. Treat everyone

as equals.

 Alertness: Be aware of what is happening around and keep an eye on things.

 Openness: Share your ideas, results, and resources with the other team members,
so that everyone has the same opportunity and know what you are doing. Being
secretive is counterproductive.

 Respect for others: No matter how urgent a deadline or heated that tempers
become, remain diplomatic and poised and show grace under pressure. Whether
serving a client, meeting a customer, or meeting with management, do the best to
respect other’s opinions, even in stressful circumstances. It shows one values
other’s individual worth and professional contribution.

 Reliability and Dependability: Means being punctual for work and meetings,
delivering assignments within budget and on schedule. Be reliable about keeping
promises for reputation precedes one so that clients, customers, and colleagues do
trust in you to do all that you say you will – everyone appreciates the stability this
embodies.

 Determination: Obstacles cannot stop you as they are a challenge to be

overcome. Embrace challenges positively and know that your role is to solve
problems with purpose and resilience. Push on, no matter how far it is necessary
to go.

 Dedication: Continue until the job is complete and delivered. “It’s good enough”
is not sufficient for you and the team, as you aim to be “outstanding” in content
and quality. Put in the extra hours to get things right by attending to detail and
excellence.

 Accountability: Accept responsibility personally for one’s actions and outcomes

in all situations, plus avoid excuses when work does not proceed as planned –
admitting mistakes or oversights are used as a learning curve and will not be
repeated again. Employers expect employees to attain to high standards, and they
should fully support staff who accept responsibility, instead of passing the buck.

 Confidentiality: Any confidential information of documents you have should

remain confidential. You cannot discuss it or show it to anyone else, other than
the people authorized to do so.

 Responsibility: Take responsibility for your thoughts, actions, behavior, and

work.

 Legality: Always work within the legal boundaries, do not break, or twist the law
to fit your agenda.

 Competence: Improve your performance and competence by constantly learning

and including the new learning into your work.

 Professionalism: From how one dresses and presents oneself in the business
world, to how others are treated, professionalism is such a very broad category
that it encompasses all the elements of a work ethic.
  Humility: Acknowledge other’s contribution and share credit for successes. You
have integrity and are open to learning from mentors and others, even as you
teach via your action, example, and words. Though you take the work seriously,
you are also maintaining a sense of humor about yourself.

 Initiative: Do not be afraid to put forth your ideas or volunteer for work.

These days a work ethics is important in many situations. It is a skill that can be learned
by every person and has so often proved to be the path of success for many. All
businesses give a higher regard to an ethical employee and hiring staff with positive
ethics is appreciated around the world.

Simply stating that “I have a good work ethic” is not the way to demonstrate it to an
employer. Do not provide generic, wishy-washy utterings, allow the employer to
visualize your ethic by defining how they are incorporated in your accomplishments,
without condition.

CONCLUSION
Today the notion of ethics is extremely widespread. They are an important part of our
personal and our working life. With a positive work ethic, individuals can become more
focused and responsible regarding their work. The individual can also cultivate a sense of
achievement, and this too, has positive effects on their career development, and on the
culture and productivity within the enterprise.

If one can successfully demonstrate a positive work ethic, then you are sure to get the job
you are being interviewed for, retain your position or be expectant regarding a promotion.
However, it’s crucial to cognize what constitutes an ideal work ethics before answering
the question.

As we have seen, ethics are fundamentally the modus operandi of activity and any work
or task where one keeps in mind the synergy and harmony of coworkers involved which
is simply one’s demeanor with respect to others, and towards work.

Ethics in the work environment means those positive facets that accumulatively, define
the staff of a company, e.g. Integrity, determination, dedication, initiative and so on. If
asked about your ethics, then speak about how you implement them in your work and that
being in a job that satisfies you, ensures that you are productive in your current job
performance.
