Work and Play
July 13, 2008 / Author: admin / Category: Human BehaviorWork is what one should do and must do regularly, grimly and purposely. Man is judged by his work and what he must do deserve his leisure and play. Work is serious adult business that enables one to get ahead and make a contribution to society. Work is viewed as a means of attaining whatever one desires and it is best that one has a great achievement motivation.
Work is a fundamental dimension of human existence. It is a physical or an intellectual effort directed towards a desired end.
Play is different. It is fun, an outlet from work, without serious purpose except to make us happier, more efficient, more relaxed and longer lasting working human machines.
It is the man equipped with proper skills and positive attitude towards work and vaues that can help recover a tattered economy and transform a nation. There is something though that puzzles the mind- f work is indispensable to man and the worker is inseparable to business and industry why is the world having problems with workers and about work. Perhaps we could gain greater insight into the problem of work by looking at the different view on work. A man’ view on work shapes his attitudes and influences his behavior. Attitudes are therefore, deemed an important variable as well as an indicator of behavior in nearly all walks of life- religious, governmental, administrative, economic, commercial, industrial and many more.
Few would deny that attitudes are one of the major influences on behavior. Attitudes are formed in the interst of one’s goal and objectives. Therefore a brief review of attitude is a good prelude to the study of work.
