Passage Two
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Work ethics can be described as a set of values, which involves the right attitude, correct behavior, respect for others and effective communication. Essentially, work ethics regulate what an employee would do in different situations in office. It involves our morality and other values, apart from what our parents have taught us. Workers exhibiting good work ethics are considered eligible for better positions and more responsibilities.
In other words, work ethics include not only how one feels about their job, career or vocation, but also how one does his/her job or responsibilities. Work ethics demonstrate many things about whom and how a person is.
Work ethics involve such characteristics as honesty and accountability . Essentially, work ethics break down to what one does or would do in a particular situation. The begging question in a situation involves what is right and acceptable, and above board, versus what is wrong, underhanded, and under the table.
Throughout the last few years, there have been companies whose work ethic, honesty, integrity and accountability, have been rather shady and have a rather negative impact on other people. This has involved people looking the other way when people have done something questionable, or thinking it would not matter.
Work ethics, such as honesty, doing a job well, valuing what one does, having a sense of purpose and being a part of a greater vision or plan is vital. Philosophically, if one does not have proper work ethics, a persons conscience may be bothered. People for the most part have good work ethic; we should not only want to do, but desire to do the proper thing in a given situation.
Work ethics are intrinsic; they come from within. A question may involve where they came from, if they come from within. Philosophically, this may lead to various perspectives; however, according to one of the existent perspectives, the truth about work ethics, and where they come from are answered from a Christian worldview. Work ethics come from God. God made humans in His image, and His word proclaims these various work ethics: honesty, integrity, doing a job well, and so on.
The Christian worldview holds fundamentally to two central work ethics: humility and the treatment of others. Humility is being humble, no task is too demeaning . Humility involves servitude, which emphasizes placing other peoples need before ones own. The treatment of others involves loving your neighbor, loving your enemy, doing good to those who dislike you. It involves valuing others, and knowing they have worth.
