“ A group of moral principles, standards of
behavior, or set of values regarding proper conduct
in the workplace”
•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.
The habit of following good work ethics is
intrinsic - it comes from within. 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. Hence, it becomes important to
be honest, responsible and dependable.
Honesty: Any job assigned to you should be
done with utmost honesty, without cheating,
lying or stealing. It is psychologically proven
that if a person doesn’t follow work ethics,
his/her conscience will be bothered
Efficiency: Efficiency is vital for your own
growth as well as the betterment of the
company you are working with. It is very easy
to spot inefficient employees, who waste a lot
of time and resources. However, efficiency is
still a hallmark of good workers.
 Dependable: Nothing is going to be as important to
your supervisor as your dependability. This isn’t
glamorous, but it is key for developing a trust
relationship with your manager.
 Be there, on time, every day.
 Stay there until the job is done, every day.
 Finish every task as quickly and completely as you can
consistent with doing it right.
 Become a resource that the employer can depend on.
 
Positive Work Habits: Inculcate good working
habits that will impress the people you are
working with and your superiors as well.
Coming to work late, dressing inappropriately
and shuffling jobs are considered as signs of
not following good work ethics. 
Initiative: To be successful in whatever you
do, it is vital to take initiatives on your part.
Don’t wait to be told what to do. If you are
doing the right thing in an acceptable manner,
do not hesitate to take initiatives.
Humanity: Humbleness and modesty are
amongst the necessary elements of good work
ethics. Only a fool is arrogant, while a wise
person always shows traits of humanity.
Teamwork: Always remember that you are a
part of the team, no matter what role you play
in it. Do what is not only good for you, but
also, beneficial for the team as a whole
Ethics in work
•It is defined as the method designed for a
code of conduct.

• Ethics is a branch of philosophy that

addresses the questions of morality through
a set of behavioral guidelines
 “These are the guidelines or
code of conduct established by the
organization which explains what kind of
ethical behavior is expected from the
employees in the organization.”
A workplace is a cluster of individuals, and
hence an amalgamation of attitudes and
imaginations, which often dilute the existence
of ethics. It takes the zeal of an evangelist to
imbibe ethics in the workplace force to grow
the organization in a holistic way.
personal ethics of each and every individual is
different, they matter in making of the ethical
standards of the organization. Because of the
difference, every employees needs to be put
on one single ethical platform.
 Right or wrong, good or bad, black or white
are the moral questions that only the power of
perception can decide, but they all demand
evolution, which finds its root to the ethics in
the workplace.
Thus Ethics in the workplace(honesty,
commitment, loyalty) help the organization to
grow and prosper. They bring about
leadership, work culture and literacy. Develop
ethics for your workplace such that, the
foundation of it will never shake or succumb to
the evils of devious minds.
 "Purusharthas" -- 'Purusha' means person,
and 'Artha' means objective.
 Purusharthas means that for which a
person strives for. It implies our goals of
life.
 Look within-What is that attaining which I
will be fully satisfied ?
 Purpose is to follow law (dharma) &
achieve salvation from his false self
(ahamkara), taking along material
comforts & human passions.
 As mentioned in agni purana, there are four
purusharthas:

1. Dharma – Duty/ Righteousness/ Morality

2. Artha – Wealth/ Material Prosperity
3. Kama – desires and needs
4. Moksha – Salvation/ Liberation, from the bondages of the
soul.

 Achieve these four objectives with detachment,

without expectations and performing task as
sacrificial offering to God.
"Dharma is the law of conduct by means of which man
attains worldly prosperity as well as final beatitude or
Moksha“- SRI SHANKARACHARYA

Binding force that regulates the entire creation.

Dharma refers to moral duties, obligations and

conduct, namely, vidhis(do's) and nishedhs(dont's).

The basic spirit of science is to conquer nature while

dharma motivates us to respect it and live in tune with
it.                                                         
•A person is born on this earth to perform certain
duties. Examples of a person's dharma are to be a
doctor, teacher, writer, manager, parent etc.

•A person's dharma can be a combination of things

(multifaceted roles).

•Sources-vedas, vedangas, sutras (dharmshastras) &

scriptures like bhagwad gita.
 Artha means wealth & is important for the overall
happiness and well being of an individual.

 Swami Vivekananda rightly said religion is not for

the empty stomachs.

 Earned or acquired according to Dharma (lawful

means).

 Way of acquiring Artha (wealth) - specialisation &

devotion to work/job.
 Kama is the fulfillment of biological,
physical and material desires.Ex: -- to
be wealthy, powerful, sexual needs,
recognition, service, etc.

 The experience of fulfillment, joy &

bliss.
 For a person to evolve spiritually, the
barrier of desires needs to be crossed
which can be done either by fulfilling
the desires, or by sublimating them.

 Creates a genuine yearning for spiritual

freedom in the mind of the enjoyer.
 Liberation form the web of maya,
freedom from the cycles of birth and
death, and the experiences of divine
happiness.

 Realizing of the Self, and is the ultimate

destination for this human birth. It is the
stage of inner realization that the
individual self is the same as the
Supreme Self.

 Absence of moha or delusion.

The theory of Purusharthas differs from Maslow’s
hierarchy of needs, where the awareness of the hierarchy
of needs is allowed in man, but the means to achieve
them is totally in the control of man himself.

•DHARMA – duty/job
•ARTHA – income/earning
•KAMA – achievement of goals
•MOKSHA - expertise
In sloka (IV.13) Lord Krishna says:

"Chaturvarnyma mayaa sristam

gunkarma vibhagsah"

i.e. four orders of society created by Me

according to their Guna (qualities/behaviour)
and Karma (profession/work/efforts).
 According to the Bhagvada Gita, a Guna is the
subtlest quality in nature and exists in all human
beings, in various grades of concentration and
combination, moving in different physical, emotional
and mental levels.

 Basically, they are three qualities that compose the

universe.

 . Bhagavad Gita 14: 22 – 27 lists these gunas: sattva,

rajas, and tamas.
•Sattva guna is pure intellegence and goodness
•Rajas guna is the fire of desire or spiritedness
•Tamas guna is dullness or inertia.

Each of these bind action in some respect.

•Sattva guna binds us to happiness

•Rajas guna binds us to actions
•Tamas guna binds us to lack of vigilance.
Examples of Sattvic people
Psychologically they are graceful, calm, alert & meditative.

Examples of Rajasic people

People who work extremely hard, wealthy people, Do anything
for money. live selfishly, are emotionally disturbed. Fluctuating
from euphoria to depression, worried and anxious.

Examples of Tamasic people

wake up late, eat, and generally drink alcohol all day; lazy and
ignorant; not interested in learning anything; self-destructive
people.
If one of these dominates us, certain results
follow:

A life dominated by rajas guna is one in which

the individual is driven by desire.

A life dominated by tamas guna is one in which

the individual is mislead, and negligent, and
passive.
 "I am the owner of my karma . 
I inherit my karma. 
I am born of my karma. 
I am related to my karma. 
I live supported by my karma. 
Whatever karma I create, whether good
or evil, that I shall inherit." 
 Karma = Action (in Sanskrit)
= Intention or motivation( in Buddhism)

God cannot be mocked. A person reaps

what he
sows. 
- BIBLE

YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE

 Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
Endless Knot
"Intention is the most important of all mental events because it gives
direction to the mind, determining whether we engage with virtuous,
non-virtuous, or neutral objects.

An intention is a mental action; it may be expressed through either

physical or verbal actions. 
Results are similar to the cause.

No results without a cause.

Once an action is done, the result is never lost.

Karma expands.
The Buddhist answer to this question forces you to think and
decide for yourself. 
Positive actions are defined as their result being a
pleasant experience, negative actions are defined by their
unpleasant results. 

Obviously, the results mentioned

here are unlikely to come immediately (so-called
'instant karma' is considered rare), instead the
karmic result may take lifetimes to ripen. 
To avoid having negative thoughts that lead to negative
actions in the future.

 We can observe/study (meditate) our own mind and

encourage positive thoughts.

We can avoid negative karmic seeds to ripen by purifying

it, using the four powers of purification .
Power of the Object.

Power of Regret.

Power of Promise.

Power of Practice.
