    WORK ETHOS

    Work ethos or work culture refers to certain norms of behaviour governing the conduct of
    workers involved in a work situation to achieve certain desired objectives. of other words, work
    culture is the involvement of a workman with work. The degree of his involvement impacts his
    performance; whether he gives high or low productivity, high or low quality.

    WORK ETHOS WILL BE DIFFERENT AT DIFFERENT LEVELS:

    At the basic level, it is about discipline, i.e., maintaining punctuality, coming to work on
    time, behaving properly with superiors, colleagues and subordinates and not wasting time
    during working hours.
    At the top level, it is about commitment and accountability, to feel responsible for the
    task assigned to him.
    Protecting the interests of the organization.
    No employee should make any adverse comments about the organization in public.
    To perform one's jobs with devotion. The worker should contribute his best to the
    organization. Every man should work like a master and not like a slave, as Swami
    Vivekananda said. Good work culture means the worker is fully absorbed in the work and
    has a high morale. On the other hand, poor work culture results in high rate of wastage,
    poor quality, low productivity and low morale. Work culture is also concerned with a
    worker's loyalty and sense of belonging to the organization. An employee is involved in
    an organization with 4 Ps, i.e., pay, prospect, promotion and performance. An ethical
    value system dictates that through performance an employee should receive pay, prospect
    and promotion.

    A sense of belonging and ideal work ethos will develop an attitude in work situations on the
    following lines:

    I am blessed to be in this situation because, compared to millions of unemployed in the


    country, I have the opportunity to work in this position and enjoy relatively greater
    benefits and a better working environment.
    For whatever the organization has given me and done for me, I am grateful and whatever
    I do in return can never adequately compensate for them.
    While it is my duty to help my subordinates and peers in enabling them to do their best
    for the overall welfare of the organization, it is not my business to sit in judgment over
    their actions, nor is to take on the responsibility of reforming them to conform to what I
    think right.
    The law of karma ensures a perfect balance between what I give to others and what I
    receive from them, no matter whether it is a mere thought! Action/ attitude, favorable or
    unfavorable, material or non-material. So there is no reason for me to feel depressed
    when people, things and events do not respond favorably to what I have done or feel
    elated when my expectations come true.
    All those who work with me are essentially different forms of my own true self, therefore
    I cannot injure others without in effect injuring my own self nor can I help them without
    in effect helping myself.
    If another person shows a negative attitude towards me, the real cause for that lies in
    myself and not in that person. It is infinitely more fruitful to undergo introspection to find
    and root out the negative actions to thoughts negative actions to attitudes in my conduct.
    No person comes into my life, no things come into my possession and no event occurs in
    my life unless I deserve it, in one way or the other. Instead of cursing God for being cruel
    to me, it is always desirable to find out the cause for it. It will invariably be deep within
    me in the form of thoughts and actions to attitudes. I shall try to see what lesson it has for
    my growth and development.
    If I discharge my duties properly, my rights will be fulfilled, sooner or later. It is the
    divine law. It is the law of karma. It is the time-tested and confirmed theory of retribution
    and reward.

    THE SEVEN FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR POOR WORK CULTURES IN


    AN ORGANIZATION ARE:

    Lack of commitment
    Lack of discipline
    Poor working conditions
    outside political interference
    High rate of absenteeism
    Lack of recognition of merit by management
    Decline of general moral standards

    STEPS TAKEN BY MANAGEMENT TO IMPROVE WORK CULTURE

    Wages should be linked to productivity


    Attendance bonus should be introduced
    In organizations, the standing order copy should be given to every employee
    Reward should be given to efficient workers
    A prayer should be introduced to boost the morale of workers.
