Intro Methods Results Conclusion Professionalism can be challenging to assess during clerkships. Current literature focuses either on aspirational generalities or professionalism lapses. Most tools assessing professionalism employ Likert scales. This study investigated the frequency and detail with which clerkship directors describe professional behaviours in end‐of‐clerkship narrative assessments.We analysed de‐identified core clerkship final narratives from one New York City medical school collected in academic years 2018–2019 and 2019–2020. We used ATLAS.ti and the six‐step thematic approach outlined by Braun & Clarke to perform a qualitative analysis, coding each semantic unit.We found that 176 out of 753 narratives (23%) mentioned professionalism, but only 29 (16%) of those provided a detailed description including an anecdote or example. Focusing on these most detailed comments, we identified seven core themes: managing time, following through on expectations, eager to engage, work ethic & efficiency, effective communication, going above and beyond and situational awareness. Themes range from simple behaviours to sophisticated behaviours that may not fully develop until residency.Narratives that use the word “professional” or “professionalism” without examples are unlikely to facilitate learning, meaningful assessment or opportunities for remediation. Our hierarchical framework can be used to teach students how to navigate the current clinical environment and can assist supervisors in providing students with specific, actionable feedback and assessment. Our model explicitly fosters a growth mindset in assessing and developing professionalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study empirically examines the impacts of legal constraints and aggregate individual characteristics on the funding and expenditure related to states' research and development (R&D). A system generalized method of moments (GMM) analysis is performed over a 20‐year period (2000–2019). The budgetary institutions, including rainy‐day funds, TELs, and debt limitations, significantly affect states' overall innovative capacity and R&D spending. They can hinder improvements in states' innovative capacity and R&D expenditure. On the other hand, states can circumvent these institutions and increase their R&D intensity and spending. States' development and human capacity foster their innovative capacity and R&D spending. Catholic work ethic is also crucial for enhancing state governments' innovative capacity and R&D expenditure. Legislative term limits reduce states' R&D intensity and expenditure. Meanwhile, economic downturns may motivate additional spending on R&D activities to promote states' innovative capacity and R&D spending. Fiscal burdens can prevent states from investing in R&D.

Introduction: The shift in medical professionalism now considers the well-being of physicians, given the prevalence of burnout and the importance of work-life balance. To reconsider the question 'Why do doctors work for the patient?' and explore the meaning of working as a physician, this study adopts the concept of 'yarigai,' which represents fulfillment and motivation in meaningful work. The authors' research questions are: How do doctors recount experiences of yarigai in caring for patients? What kind of values are embodied in their stories about yarigai? Method: They adopted narrative inquiry as the methodology for this study. They interviewed 15 doctors who were recognized by their colleagues for their commitment to patient-centered care or had demonstrated yarigai in caring for patients. The semi-structured interviews were conducted face-to-face with each participant by the Japanese researchers, yielding 51 cases of patient-doctor interactions. After grouping the interview data, they translated the cases into English and identified four representative cases to present based on the set criteria. Results: From the 51 case studies, they constructed four representative narratives about the yarigai as a physician. Each of them spoke of (1) finding positive meaning in difficult situations, (2) receiving gifts embodying ikigai, (3) witnessing strength in a seemingly powerless human being, and (4) cultivating relationships that transcend temporal boundaries, as being rewarding in working as a physician. The main results of the study, which are the narratives, are described in the main body of the paper. Conclusion: The stories on yarigai gave intrinsic meanings to their occupational lives, which can be informative for students, residents, and young physicians when contemplating the meaning of their work as doctors. Rather than demanding selfless dedication from physicians towards patients, they believe it more important to foster yarigai, derived from the contribution to the well-being of others through patient care.

The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the indenture system contributed to the development of a work ethic that facilitated the development of the Mauritian economy. The indentured labor system in Mauritius, though crucial for the island’s economic boom in the 19th century, involved harsh realities for laborers. Long contracts, limited freedoms, and debt bondage masked the ‘free’ labor narrative. Despite the exploitation, some former laborers achieved land ownership and entrepreneurship, showcasing resilience. Recognizing the vulnerability of a sugar-dependent economy, Mauritius embarked on diversification efforts, fostering tourism, manufacturing, and financial services. By examining the indentured labor system, we gain insights into the human cost of economic growth, the complexities of ‘free’ labor, and the long-term consequences of migration. This historical exploration sheds light on Mauritius’ social and economic transformation, highlighting its journey from a sugar-reliant nation to a more diversified and resilient economy.

The eSports industry has transformed rapidly in China in the last decade to become a flourishing business domain. ESports practitioners have been endorsed by the Chinese government (Wong and Meng-Lewis 2023), which recognized eSports as an official occupation in 2019. However, previous studies have interpreted eSports work as ‘playbour’, neglecting the professional and vocational dimensions of eSports. The field of affects related to eSports work is also understudied. This study employs certain ethnographic methods (participant observation and interview) to demonstrate the dialectical relationship between work and play through the construct of ‘work-and-play’, which emphasizes the new work ethic of ‘do what you love’. Esports players engage professionally in the work of playing games motivated by love, hope and ‘the champion dream’. However, their desire to flourish through eSports work could subject them to precarity and become cruel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The German 'refugee crisis' produced formidable levels of civil society assistance, involving citizens and locations with no previous experience in refugee support. Grounded in research with citizen volunteers in a rural region in southern Germany conducted at a time when rightwing populism gained strength, this article explores how volunteers reflect on their relations with refugees while negotiating distinctly German identities. Scholarship on volunteering in refugee settings has looked at the emotional aspect of this work largely for its political import. This article expands attention to emotions in volunteering from a form of political practice on the ground to a practice of narrative reasoning. In a close reading of interview-derived narratives as affective practices the relevance of locality, identity and history for refugee reception comes to the fore. Deploying the notions of 'redemptive' and 'affirmative' Germanness the article shows how volunteers draw on specific historical trajectories to produce moral arguments about the support and incorporation of strangers. This article argues that volunteers' affective involvement with history and locality needs unpacking if their relations of solidarity are to be understood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article centers on the life of the late Ottoman and early Turkish Republican bureaucrat Mustafa Reşat to investigate how he turned into a genocide technocrat. It examines his career and decisions at critical junctions and depicts him as an outstanding representative of a category of perpetrators who prepare the propitious infrastructure, ground, and climate for such large-scale violence as the Armenian Genocide. By shifting the perspective to the type, scale, and level of perpetrating violence, this paper sheds light on how Mustafa Reşat used his administrative and political knowledge and experience to serve Talat Pasha, who was already organizing the deportation and extermination of Armenians. Drawing upon hitherto unmined sources such as his memoirs, it demonstrates how an ultranationalist and dedicated Ottoman bureaucrat played a pivotal role in determining the main contours of the Turkish state’s mindset on the “Armenian and Kurdish Questions”.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly creeping into the work sphere, thereby gradually questioning and/or disturbing the long-established moral concepts and norms communities have been using to define what makes work good. Each community, and Muslims make no exception in this regard, has to revisit their moral world to provide well-thought frameworks that can engage with the challenging ethical questions raised by the new phenomenon of AI-mediated work. For a systematic analysis of the broad topic of AI-mediated work ethics from an Islamic perspective, this article focuses on presenting an accessible overview of the "moral world" of work in the Islamic tradition. Three main components of this moral world were selected due to their relevance to the AI context, namely (1) Work is inherently good for humans, (2) Practising a religiously permitted profession and (c) Maintaining good relations with involved stakeholders. Each of these three components is addressed in a distinct section, followed by a sub-section highlighting the relevance of the respective component to the particular context of AI-mediated work. The article argues that there are no unsurmountable barriers in the Islamic tradition against the adoption of AI technologies in work sphere. However, important precautions should be considered to ensure that embracing AI will not be at the cost of work-related moral values. The article also highlights how important lessons can be learnt from the positive historical experience of automata that thrived in the Islamic civilization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective/Background Method Results Conclusions Conservative ideology, broadly speaking, has been widely linked to greater happiness and meaning in life. Is that true of all forms of a good life? We examined whether a psychologically rich life is associated with political orientation, system justification, and Protestant work ethic, independent of two other traditional forms of a good life: a happy life and a meaningful life.Participants completed a questionnaire that assessed conservative worldviews and three aspects of well‐being (N = 583 in Study 1; N = 348 in Study 2; N = 436 in Study 3; N = 1,217 in Study 4; N = 2,176 in Study 5; N = 516 in Study 6).Happiness was associated with political conservatism and system justification, and meaning in life was associated with Protestant work ethic. In contrast, zero‐order correlations showed that psychological richness was not associated with conservative worldviews. However, when happiness and meaning in life were included in multiple regression models, the nature of the association shifted: Psychological richness was consistently inversely associated with system justification and on average less political conservatism, suggesting that happiness and meaning in life were suppressor variables.These findings suggest that happiness and meaning in life are associated with conservative ideology, whereas psychological richness is not.

Yoga-informed sound bath providers orchestrate vibrations from singing bowls, chimes, gongs, and other simple instruments to promote client well-being – sometimes in ways that create a trauma trap. Drawing on immersive research with sound bath providers and receivers in California, USA, I explore how these ritual performances feed on and fuel narratives regarding trauma, stress, and dysregulation, diverting attention from structural and cultural factors creating said disharmony. Beyond thereby ensuring a market, they can perpetuate a trauma-informed self-identification and subjectivity that harmonizes with the American work ethic, diminishes nonproductive sensual enjoyment, promotes self-care over community care, undermines resilience, and amplifies suffering.

This study aims to analyze the simultaneously and partially effect of age, reconciliation of gender roles, work ethic of Balinese women, husband's income and education on the decision of Balinese women to enter the labor market in West Denpasar District. Analyze the role of education in moderating effect of husband's income and to find out the variables that have a dominant effect on the decision of Balinese women to enter the job market in West Denpasar District. This research design uses quantitative methods with a total sample of 100 married women. This study uses primary data collected through observation, structured interviews and indepth interviews. Data analysis techniques were carried out by logistic regression analysis, moderation, and dominant test. The results showed that age, gender role reconciliation, Balinese women's work ethic, husband's income and education simultaneously had a significant effect on the chances of Balinese women's deciding to enter the labor market. Partially, age, reconciliation of gender roles, Balinese women's work ethic, and education have a positive and significant effect on the chances of Balinese women's deciding to enter the labor market while, husband's income has no negative or insignificant effect of Balinese women's deciding to enter the labor market. The level of education as a moderating variable weakens the effect of husband's income on the chances of Balinese women's deciding to enter the labor market. Education has a dominant effect on the chances of Balinese women's deciding to enter the labor market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The implementation of the childhood public policy in Chile finds its guidelines in the model of New Public Management. The management and control systems go through the intervention work for vulnerable children, causing high intensification and tension in the work ethic. In this article we discursively analyze how workers build the meaning of public work in childhood, showing the tensions that emerge in their relationship with politics and its instruments. The results, based on 16 interviews, evidenced three dominant repertoires: between the managerialized worker and the frustrated worker; the superhero worker; and the collective as a refuge and support for the managerial gear. Faced with this dispute over the ethics of the public, it is urgent to rethink childhood policies, highlighting the place of collective articulation, as an organized voice that cannot be absent in its design.

Recruiting career changers into teaching has emerged as a part of a strategy by governments worldwide to address complex teacher shortage problems in hard-to-staff schools. In this paper, we present a case study of two career change teachers and trace their career journey into Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and the teaching profession in two separate hard-to-staff schools. We interviewed these teachers during the first 2 years of their career change journey. During this period, 'push-and-pull' factors impacted their intentions to stay in the profession. Challenges included inadequate school-level mentorship support, social-geographic isolation in a regional school setting during the COVID-19 remote learning and the more complex working conditions in hard-to-staff schools. The adverse impacts of these challenges were, to some extent, mitigated by the participants' commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of children and young people through the teaching profession, a strong work ethic and support provided by their ITE programme in the form of university-based mentors and adjustment to study requirements. The participants responded to these push-and-pull factors in ways that highlighted their reflexive decision-making and determination to stay in teaching despite challenges. We discuss the implications of these findings for workforce planning strategies aimed at recruiting career change teachers in hard-to-staff schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The COVID-19 pandemic changed work attire during many months of remote work. This exploratory study contributes new knowledge on whether chosen attire while working from home affects employee self-perceived work productivity in four areas: quality of work, work ethic, motivation, and mental health. Two exploratory studies, a qualitative study in June 2020 (n = 20) and a survey in June 2021 (n = 89), were designed to examine employees' attire while working from home, analyzing self-perceived work productivity related to work-time attire decisions. Results from both studies indicate that quality of work, work ethic, motivation at work, and mental health were largely unaffected by attire choices. Qualitatively, respondents shared strong sentiments that their work attire does not affect their overall work productivity. Quantitative results confirmed that attire while working from home during COVID-19, office attire worn prior to COVID-19, and company dress code policy to be unrelated to work productivity measures for this sample. The discussion examines the necessity of dress codes from the perspective of the COVID-19 work experience and demonstrates the lack of association between attire and productivity in terms of independent remote work.

The article presents the discussion on potential end of traditional employment due to advancements in artificial intelligence, predicting that AI may surpass human capabilities in many cognitive tasks within the next few years. Topics include the psychological impact of unemployment, the decline of the Protestant work ethic, and the need to reassess social structures and cultural meaning in a world without traditional work roles.

We use the case of welfare recipients to validate conjoint experiments as a measure of stereotype content. Stereotypes are politically consequential, but their content can be difficult to measure. The conjoint measure of stereotype content, in which respondents see profiles describing hypothetical persons and rate these persons' degree of belonging to the target group, offers several advantages over existing measures. However, no existing work evaluates the validity of this new measure. We evaluate this measurement technique using the case of welfare recipients. Stereotypes of welfare recipients are politically important and extensively studied, providing strong a priori expectations for portions of the stereotype, especially race, gender, and "deservingness." At the same time, scholars disagree about the importance of another attribute with important political implications: immigration status. We find that aggregate stereotypes, measured via a conjoint experiment, match the strong a priori expectations: white Americans see welfare recipients as black, female, and violating the norms of work ethic. Individual-level stereotypes also predict welfare policy support—even when other demographic and ideological factors are accounted for. We also find that immigration status is not a part of the welfare recipient stereotype for most Americans, but support for welfare is lower among those who do stereotype welfare recipients as undocumented immigrants. Finally, we suggest an improvement in the conjoint task instructions. Overall, we confirm that conjoint experiments provide a valid measure of stereotypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Across three pre‐registered studies (n = 221 4–9‐year olds, 51% female; 218 parents, 80% female; working‐ and middle‐class backgrounds; data collected during 2019–2021) conducted in the United States (Studies 1–2; 74% White) and China (Study 3; 100% Asian), we document the emergence of a preference for "strivers." Beginning at age 7, strivers (who work really hard) were favored over naturals (who are really smart) in both cultures (R2 ranging.03–.11). We explored several lay beliefs surrounding this preference. Beliefs about outcomes and the controllability of effort predicted the striver preference: Children who expected strivers to be more successful than naturals and believed effort was more controllable than talent preferred strivers more. Implications of the striver preference in education and beyond are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this research article, we examine why so few of the most promising young scientists in South Africa, those who obtain a P or 'prestigious' rating from the South African National Research Foundation, go on to obtain an A rating, i.e. become leading international scholars in their fields. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 36 P-rated scientists in the period 1983 to 2022, we found that personal characteristics (such as work ethic), the right international networks, and strong departmental support are among the key factors that explain the research accomplishments of highly successful achievers.

This research aims to analyze work stress, work ethic and supervision of employees at PT. Bank Central Asia, Tbk, especially the Bidakara Tower Main Branch Office, with a total of 100 research samples taken from permanent employees and interns. Research results using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis show that work supervision is more dominant in influencing employee performance than work stress and work ethic. Work stress has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Bank BCA strives to be better at managing work stress to meet employee needs and produce good performance. Work ethic also has a positive but not too big effect on employee performance. BCA Bank pays attention to a high work ethic because it is rooted in strong cooperation and strong commitment from employees. Work ethic is very important to motivate employees to improve their performance. Supervision influences employee performance more dominantly than work stress and work ethic. Good supervision will reduce the rate of work errors. Work supervision also influences employee work motivation to provide and improve their own good performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines the influence of organizational culture on employee performance, the influence of work motivation on employee performance, the influence of work ethic on employee performance, and the influence of organizational culture, work motivation, and work ethic simultaneously on employee performance at RSUD Beriman Balikpapan. This research is conducted to explain the relationship between three variables, namely independent variables consisting of Organizational Culture (X1), Work Motivation (X2), and Work Ethic (X3) with the dependent variable, namely Employee Performance (Y). Therefore, the type of research used is quantitative, as the researcher wants to determine whether there is an influence between the variables through hypothesis testing that has been formulated. To predict the extent of variation, the form of the relationship, and determine the direction and magnitude of the influence between independent variables and dependent variables using regression analysis techniques. This research will be conducted at RSUD Beriman Balikpapan. The population in this study is all employees at RSUD Beriman Balikpapan. The sampling technique used in this study is simple random sampling, which is the selection of sample members from the population carried out randomly without considering the strata in the population. The findings prove that 1). Organizational culture does not significantly affect employee performance at RSUD Beriman Balikpapan. 2). Work motivation does not significantly affect employee performance at RSUD Beriman Balikpapan. 3). Work ethic does not significantly affect employee performance at RSUD Beriman Balikpapan, and 4). Organizational culture, work motivation, and work ethic have an effect on employee performance at RSUD Beriman Balikpapan. This study provides insights into the factors influencing employee performance at RSUD Beriman Balikpapan, and in the future, the results of this study can help management in making more effective policies to improve employee performance.

The emergence of millennials in strategic positions of academic organizations paved the way for a peculiar execution of leadership practices due to their work ethic and generational stereotypes. Scholars argue that one of the neo-charismatic modalities that they embrace is transformational leadership. By and large, the said leadership paradigm becomes a multifaceted phenomenon if viewed from the specific generational and professional lenses. There is a paucity of studies that discovers its translation on developing countries that imbue a communitarian schema of values. Through a Glaserian grounded theory, the qualitative inquiry purported to provide a model which would uncover the process of sensemaking of communitarian values to enrich the transformational leadership attributes of the millennial academic supervisors. Twenty (20) information-rich cases from various comprehensive universities in the Philippines participated in the inquiry. Interestingly, the study revealed four (4) distinct yet interwoven stages of Build up, Engage in, Lean on, and Live through. The 'BELL Model of Culturally Sensitive Transformational Leadership Attribute Enrichment among Millennial Academic Supervisors' can serve as a pragmatic framework that could assist the teacher-leaders hailing from communitarian societies with a scaffolding that resonates with their modern-day sensibilities and celebrates their indigeneity.

The Bogor Regency Trade and Industry Office is tasked with managing trade and industry in the area with the aim of enhancing economic competitiveness. However, the performance of employees in the office has not been optimal. This study aims to evaluate the influence of work culture and competence on the performance of employees of the Bogor Regency Trade and Industry Office, with work ethic as a variable that acts as a mediator. A sample of 112 respondents out of a total of 154 employees was selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through questionnaires and direct observation, then analyzed using the Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) method version 3.0 as well as reliability, validity, statistical, and classical assumption tests. The results show the influence of work culture and competence on employee performance, the influence of work culture on work ethic, the influence of competence on work ethic, the influence of work ethic on employee performance, as well as the influence of work culture and competence on employee performance through work ethic as a mediator variable.

This research aims to examine organizational justice's role as a mediator in the association between Islamic work ethic and work engagement among Sharia Bank employees. The respondents were 86 employees of Sharia Bank in Jakarta. The hypothesis was examined through a mediation test that involved four steps, including three simple regression and multiple regression. The results showed that organizational justice meditates the relationship between Islamic work ethic and work engagement among Sharia Bank employees. Employees who strongly uphold Islamic work ethics will have a positive perception of organizational justice, which, in turn, leads to higher engagement with their work. These findings have implications on how organizations can enhance employees' work engagement by promoting employees' positive perception of organizational justice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Migration enforcement is an emotional field displaying conflicting positions and tensions between bureaucrats and migrants, and within and between organizations. This article conducts an in-depth analysis of emotions within organizational encounters and the role that emotions play between organizations and in the outcome of cases. It examines how emotions directed towards other agencies shape an organizational work ethos and professional standing. Using ethnographic data collected in Swiss migration offices, social services offices and legal counselling offices, this article discloses how such actors 'feel' each other and therefore indirectly show how they 'feel' the 'state' and its policies regarding the creation of migrant subjects and their integration and belonging. While social workers and legal advisors often understand migration policies as restrictive towards migrant individuals, migration officials find themselves in the role of the state defender. Studying their emotions thus facilitates an analysis of the discrepancies between different agencies in the realm of migration administration and of their emotional dissonance, which characterize the migration regime.

In this article, I present a rereading of Benedictine spirituality of work in the Rule of St. Benedict, delineating four major points. First, I show that the Benedictine work ethic is grounded primarily in the vow of obedience, with supplemental utilitarian considerations. Second, I explore the various work functions within the monastery, which is akin to a home, as reflected in the monastic spaces. Third, with respect to the concept of time, monastic work is both scheduled and done according to needs, providing flexibility while imposing temporal order. Lastly, monastic work is also a communal endeavour and must be done by monks to the best of their abilities. Even while the monks are apart from each other while travelling, they still consider themselves as working together. I argue that these Benedictine perspectives on work offer valuable insights for individuals working from home (WFH) during and beyond the coronavirus pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A recent cross-cultural study suggests employees may be classified, based on their scores on a measure of work ethic, into three profiles labeled as "live to work," "work to live," and "work as a necessary evil." The present study assesses whether these profiles were stable before and after an extended lockdown that forced employees to work from home for 2 years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. To assess our core research question, we conducted a longitudinal study with employees of a company in the financial sector, collecting data in two waves: February 2020 (n = 692) and June 2022 (n = 598). Tests of profile similarity indicated a robust structural and configural equivalence of the profiles before and after the lockdown. As expected, the prolonged pandemic-based lockdown had a significant effect on the proportion of individuals in each profile. Implications for leading and managing in a post-pandemic workforce are presented and discussed. JEL CLASSIFICATION: M12 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses Elizabeth Anderson's book, "Hijacked: how neoliberalism turned the work ethic against workers and how workers can take it back." The book explores the origins of the Protestant work ethic and its influence on major thinkers of political economy. Anderson argues that there are two rival interpretations of the work ethic: a conservative tradition that supports the existing social order and a progressive conception that advocates for political and economic changes to better recognize and protect the virtues of the work ethic. The book offers a critical history of the work ethic and its implications for social democracy. It also provides insights for scholars and practitioners of the Capabilities Approach, emphasizing the importance of considering organizational contexts and distinguishing between different cognitive frames.

H.A. Guízar's book, "The École Royale Militaire: Noble Education, Institutional Innovation, and Royal Charity, 1750–1788," provides a comprehensive account of the Parisian École Royale Militaire (ERM). Guízar argues that the school should be seen as an Enlightenment project, influenced by French philosophes and part of a broader culture of improvement and reform. The ERM aimed to improve the French army by providing professional training for students and to rehabilitate the French nobility by offering education and assistance to young men from noble families. Despite facing criticisms and challenges, the ERM was historically significant and contributed to the modernization of education in France. Guízar's book also sheds light on the French nobility, the culture of improvement and reform, and political struggles in 18th-century France. [Extracted from the article]

This book review discusses "Lutheranism and Social Responsibility," an edited volume that presents contributions from a symposium on "Religion and Welfare" held at Aarhus University. The book covers a wide range of academic disciplines, perspectives, time spans, and source material, with a focus on the Nordic countries. The articles explore various aspects of Lutheran theology and its influence on social care and welfare, including the relationship between the church and state, philanthropy, poor relief, and the development of the welfare state. While the volume provides valuable insights into the religious and social history of the Nordic countries, it lacks a clear chronology and geographical concentration, and does not include Sweden, Norway, and Iceland in its discussions.

This article examines the relationship between human resource management, work ethic, and innovation in government office employees in West Sulawesi Province. The study collected data from 341 employees through observation and questionnaires. The findings indicate that human resource management positively influences work ethic, but has a negative and insignificant effect on innovation. However, work ethic has a positive and significant impact on innovation, and human resource management has a positive and significant effect on innovation when mediated by work ethic. The study suggests that improving human resource management can enhance the quality of public service innovation. It emphasizes the importance of conducting thorough tests and analyses to ensure the validity and reliability of research data. The article highlights the significance of effective human resource management in promoting innovation and improving work ethic in public service organizations. It argues that investing in professional human resource management can lead to higher productivity and better service quality. The study also emphasizes the role of work ethic as a mediator between human resource management and innovation. It concludes that cultivating a positive work ethic is crucial for enhancing public service innovation. [Extracted from the article]

This article contributes to the literature on basic income and work by articulating the case for disentangling the normative justification of basic income from the structural and temporal imperatives of the capitalist wage relation and the work ethic. It begins with a survey of the major normative justifications of basic income and their respective orientations towards capitalist development and labour markets. Next it presents an argument against tying the justification of basic income to posited labour supply responses based on predicted technological change, the extant empirical evidence from pilots or technical policy simulations. It then addresses the politico-cultural barrier to basic income presented by the wage relation and the work ethic, and critically evaluates the 'exit option' argument for basic income. The article concludes that asserting a right to an ad vitam basic income is an ethically justified and politically astute step towards a necessary decentring of (capitalist) work in basic income scholarship and advocacy.

Theatre is the modern liminoid equivalent of ritual liminality, according to Victor Turner. It is also, like most arts, a Janus-faced phenomenon: on one hand, it is a way to systematically infect the public with mimetic desire and rivalry (this is the aspect emphasised, quite rightly, by Plato and René Girard); on the other, it also enables the public expression of views about the contemporary state of social and political life that otherwise would be difficult to speak about, or even censored. As an example, this article will turn to the 1970s in Hungary, when the communist regime had become much softened, though at the same time generated the impression, in everyone, that it would last forever. More concretely, it will first shortly present and analyse the quite unique story of the Kaposvár theatre, which during the decade changed, through a peculiar combination of 'liminal' factors, from a boring provincial spectacle to the number one theatrical event of the country, avidly followed by students and intellectuals, especially from the capital. An epilogue is devoted to the masterly article by Elemér Hankiss, the most important and influential intellectual living then in Hungary who became, for a time, the consensus president of the Hungarian Television after the collapse of communism. It exposes the infantilising character of communist power by analysing a series of theatrical performances staged in a leading Budapest theatre in the late 1970s. Infantile adults are evidently caught in a permanent liminality, so Hankiss shows how theatre indeed was a main instrument in diagnosing the worst aspect of life under communist rule, its permanent liminality, reinforcing uncertainty and hopelessness.

Correctional officers (COs) work in a unique climate of continual carceral care, balancing interpersonal relationships, prison dynamics, with organizational and occupational duties. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with COs (n = 72) employed in federal penitentiaries in Canada, we explore factors influencing CO culture and peer acceptance. Using a constructed semi-grounded approach, we analyze how CO behaviors and values shape CO culture and illustrate how proving oneself is fundamental to in-group acceptance. Findings support the importance of proving oneself to CO acceptance, through developing trust, putting in time, performance, work ethic, showing respect, and by having each other's backs on the job.

The historically unequal grazing industry in Cape York Peninsula, far northeast Queensland, gave rise to intercultural relationships between Aboriginal stock workers and settler-descended graziers. However, in recent decades, Aboriginal employment on cattle stations has fallen. Nowadays, many younger Aboriginal people work in government-funded jobs which settler-descended graziers frame as 'hand-out style' work. Settler-descended graziers have come to value an ethic of hard work related to both the Protestant work ethic and aspects of pioneer mythology which are entwined with graziers' senses of belonging. Contemporary Aboriginal people are positioned by settler-descended graziers as having a 'different' relationship to work and lacking the valuation of hard work that graziers deem a moral good. In their discussions of Aboriginal people as lacking a valuation for 'hard work', graziers seek to critique what they perceive as government overreach in the form of land rights and government-funded jobs.

During an emerging adult's career decision-making and development, the work ethic is defined as an individual's commitment to valuing work and believing that doing a good job requires hard work, is thought to positively influence career confidence. However, researchers do not fully understand how work ethics develop and impact career confidence.
