- W220083922 abstract "Everyday in hundreds of institutions of higher education throughout the nation thousands of employees report work and about their business of completing their assigned duties in small eight hour blocks of time. Within this group of workers exists two distinct groups of individuals who possess unique qualities that make them stand apart from one another. Each practice a special type of work ethic philosophy that helps define it as employees and as people. Sure, I'll do The first group is comprised of those workers that not only show up work on time every day and work diligently complete their job tasks, but who also come work early and stay late. These are the workers that the college comes rely on. They are the work horses of the college system. These are the faceless individuals who keep the system humming along smoothly. Although they lack any special talent, these are the individuals who volunteer for committee work and special project assignments. They are the people who help out in almost every cause without being asked. They are the go to people. They are often anonymous and work behind the scene and have learned blend in. They are almost never well paid, and yet, they are the ones a college can always count on. What makes these individuals so dedicated? What makes them so willing do so much for so little? While there are several answers these questions, the most important one lies within the personalities of the individuals themselves. There exists in certain individuals a real desire prove their worth. These individuals are self motivated. Often they are people oriented. They seek please others by working hard and they take pride in their efforts. In some cases they are even perfectionists who demand extremely high or even impossible levels of excellence in themselves. They are driven achieve this excellence and perfection. These individuals are also exceptional team players who place the importance of the school and the work they do over any individual success or acknowledgement. When working with others who may not share such beliefs of perfection and excellence, they assume the added responsibility of picking up the slack and doing more than their share ensure success. When projects are completed they are often too humble take credit for their extra efforts or any success that resulted from their hard work. They prefer share the credit equally with colleagues even if they shouldered most of the work burden. It soon becomes apparent everyone that these individuals are willing do whatever needs be done ensure that the targeted goals are met. Others sometimes take advantage of this fact and these individuals are abused by colleagues who are more than willing allow them shoulder the burden and sacrifice their time in order complete the work. In the process, their welfare soon becomes secondary the needs of the institution and other individuals. Yet, it seems that no matter how much extra work is asked of them, they find a way do it. They complete whatever must get done on time and usually do an excellent job in doing so. Interestingly enough, they rarely raise their voices in protest complain. Seldom, if ever, are these individuals afforded the recognition they deserve. No way, not me. In the very same workforce though there exists another and quite different type of employee. In sharp contrast the ever present and hard working group of individuals, there also exist those employees who have mastered the ability do very little and yet survive, and even at times thrive, within the college system. In a system that it not merit based, and does not directly reward effort with financial and professional success, these types of individuals have learned that a strong work ethic does not guarantee recognition, nor does effort always lead commensurate rewards. …" @default.
