BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

A. WORK ETHICS

By definition, Work ethic is a belief that works, 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 ingrained of this value is considered to
enhance character through hard work that is respective to an individual’s field of work

A strong work ethic is vital for achieving goals. A work ethic is a set of moral principles a
person uses in their job. People who possess a strong work ethic embody certain principles that
guide their work behavior, leading them to produce high-quality work consistently and the output
feeds the individual to stay on track. A good work ethic fuels an individual’s needs and goals; it is
related to the initiative by a person for the objectives. It is considered as a source of self-respect,
satisfaction, and fulfillment. However, a 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Being available and reliable: spending time on the work and building oneself up
for the task.
4. Conscientiousness: a desire to do a task well, being vigilant and organized.
5. Creating a rewarding routine/system: Engaging in tasks that provide strength
and energy which can be transferred to your ultimate goals, creating a habit and a habitat
for success.
6. Embracing positivism: 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".

Since work ethics deals with a code of conduct, or a set of principles that is acceptable in the work
place, we need to look at what some of those principles are.
