Work Ethic Affecting An Individual's Perception Of Unemployees

People who have a strong work ethic have a better performance rate compared to other employees who don’t have the best work ethic. Salajeghe speaks about how jobs with more demands are most likely to cause more stress. He states “The job with high mental demands and less decision making domain have higher related job stress… [which is] highly effective to individual and organizational performance.” (Salajeghe) Jobs with less mental demand give workers a better chance to be more organized with their work and enhance people’s work ethic.
