Caring Responsibility

Respect Fairness

Citizenship Trustworthiness
Responsibility:
 Being responsible means you follow
instruction and understand your work:
you are loyal, accountable and strive to
improve your abilities so you can per-
form better at work.
 You fulfill your obligations without
supervision and manage your time
properly, therefore not wasting the or-
ganization’s time and resources.
Fairness:
 Fairness involves impartiality, open-
ness, equality and following due process; that
is, being just without showing any fa-
voritism or prejudice.
 You strictly play by the rules, ignoring
your own personal feelings, interest, opinion
or dislike, and avoiding taking undue
advantage of the weak and ignorant.
 For example, during promotions, you select
individuals based on their performance
rather than friendship.
Trustworthy:
 Trustworthy means "worthy of trust."This
is a characteristic that becomes evident only
over time: you are honest, reliable and
act with integrity, and you finish your
work on time and without any delay.
 You are loyal and can be trusted with con-
fidential information about the organiza-
tion.
Caring:
 Work ethics require that you relate well with
your coworkers, a quality that's more possible
when you are caring.
 You are sensitive to others' feelings and cir-
cumstances, you take your time to assist your
coworkers and you strive always strive to
maintain harmony within your group.
 When you are caring, you cause no unneces-
sary harm and have a positive attitude toward
everyone.
Respect
 In the workplace context, respect means
treating others courteously and with
humanity regardless of their position in
the organization.
 Think the Golden Rule.
 Accepting and respecting others will
avoid any unnecessary conflict in
the workplace.
Citizenship
 Good citizenship means being involved in and
committed to your organization and obeying
its rules.
 You keep well informed about current issues
affecting your company, and are prepared to
give more than you are receiving.
 Your hard work to improve the organiza-
tion is oriented not just toward the
present, but the future as well.
Character:

“ Hard work spotlights the character of people:

some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their
noses, and some don't turn up at all.
