Answer 10

-The people desire to be recognized as individuals and treated with dignity, as living human beings. Meaningful work is worth doing for the sense of personal identity and the self-esteem it holds.
- Economic independence
- Pay as well as the pace of work should be in commensurate with the expertise required, acquired, and utilized in the persons. Exploitation and bargained pay should be discouraged.
- Privacy (personal freedom) of the employee, including women, is to be protected. At the same time, confidentiality of the employer is also to be protected. Mutual trust and loyalty both ways play major roles in this aspect.
- Security during job and upon retirement: This concept is being accepted only in government jobs, public limited companies, and corporate organizations.
- Recognition to non-work activities, such as leisure, paid holiday on the day of visit of a dignitary, social service, and other developmental activities. The workers in prosperous countries are less willing to consider ‘work’ as their prime interest in life.
- Hard work and productivity are very essential for the success of an industry. The quality of work life deserves to be improved.
- Employee alienation: Absence of or inadequate ‘recognition and reward system’ and ‘grievance redressal system’, lack of transparency in policy implementation, factions in trade unions etc. lead to ethical problems, affecting the work ethic
- A different view of work ethics: Work is considered as a necessary evil. It is a thing one must do in order to avoid worse evils, such as dependency and poverty. That is a major source of anxiety and unhappiness.
- As per the Protestant Work Ethics, the financial success is a sign that is favored by God. It means making maximal profit is a duty mandated by God. It is to be obtained rationally, diligently, and without compromising with other values such as spending time with one’s family and not exploiting or harming others
