By definition:
Work ethic is a belief that work, hard work and 
diligence has a moral benefit and an inherent ability, 
virtue or value to strengthen character. It is about
prioritizing work and putting it in the center of life. Social
ingrainment of this value is considered to enhance 
character through hard work that is respective to an
individual’s field of work

A work ethic is a set of moral principles a person


uses in their job. People who possess a strong work

behavior, leading them to produce high-quality work
consistently and the output feeds the individual to
stay on track.
Two types of Work Ethics

related to the initiative by a person
for the objectives. It is considered
as a source of self-respect,
satisfaction, and fulfillment.
Two types of Work Ethics

Negative work ethic is a behavior


of a single individual or a group that
has led to a systematic lack of
productivity, reliability,
accountability and a growing sphere
of unprofessional/unhealthy
relationships (e.g., power politics,
lack of social skills, etc.)
Here are some factors of a good work
ethics:

• Goal-oriented actions.
• Dedicate on priority.
• Being available and reliable.
• Conscientiousness.
• Creating a rewarding routine/system
• Embracing positivism
Goal-oriented actions

It is not about making plans or


the next logical steps; it's about
getting things done so that the work
invested wouldn't be counter-
productive.
Dedicate on priority

Focusing on qualitative
activities that a person is
capable and where they can
make a difference or a high
impact based on objectives.
Being available and reliable

Spending time on the


work and building oneself
up for the task.

well, being vigilant and
organized.
Creating a rewarding routine/system

Shape a problem with the


statement "good, (action)
(problem)", e.g. "I'm tired and
it is time for a workout" leads
to "Good. Workout tired".
Why do we need to understand work ethics?

"what was once understood as the work


ethic—not just hard work but also a set of
accompanying virtues, whose crucial role
in the development and sustaining of 
free markets too few now recall".

Steven Malanga
