You cannot bribe an employee with enough money to develop a good work ethic. A solid work ethic is a matter of character and faithfulness. It’s about commitment to your Creator (or to yourself for those who do not believe in God).
It’s motivated by how you can leverage what you’ve been given—not by what you get from the work or employer. It’s about believing in the work’s importance and quality—not about collecting a paycheck you didn’t earn. A good work ethic is about more than waiting to be told what to do next — it’s about a vision for the finished product that goes beyond the task.
I’ve seen employees give 150% for minimum pay, but far more give 60% effort for way more remuneration than they’re worth. I’ve seen employees give more time to their bathroom breaks, social breaks, and lunch breaks than they give to the work they’re being paid to do.
Too many people are willing to get paid for what someone else has worked for.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. – Ephesians 2:10
Minimizing me...making much of Jesus
