| | History of Work Ethic |
 | | One of the factors that made the feudal system work was the predominant religious belief that it was sinful for people to seek work other than within the God ordained occupations fathers passed on to their sons. | | | With the Protestant Reformation, and the spread of a theology which ordained the divine dignity of all occupations as well as the right of choosing one's work, the underpinnings of an emerging capitalist economic system were established. | | | Monasteries were formed where monks performed the religious and intellectual work of the church (reading, copying manuscripts, etc.), but lay people tended to the manual labor needed to supply the needs of the community. |

| | Toward A Biblical Understanding of the Work Ethic |
| | The role of human work in God's creation The Bible describes work as central to who we are as human beings. | | | Thus the Bible, in negative exhortations and positive pronouncements, is consistent in describing the goal of work as bringing honor to God by serving others. | | | As we serve God, we benefit others: The good works for which we were created (Ephesians 2: 1 0) bring blessing to others. |

| | Is There Any Such A Thing As A Biblical Work Ethic |
| | Work is defined to include preaching the gospel and Christian ministry providing that it is done diligently.(1Thess 5:12,13) Support of Christian workers is commended and not seen as them merely indulging their religious sentiments. | | | Thus seven of the ten most prosperous countries have a Protestant work ethic and the other three, while not Protestant, take a similar approach to their work. | | | By working for something external to the economic process (for wisdom and for God) we gain a leverage point to control our life and in the end we gain greater prosperity - both financially and spiritually. |

| | Work was seen as both occupying a person's time to prevent him from sinning, a boon to the economic wellbeing of the family and society, and as an necessary consequence due to original sin. | | | Man was created in the Garden of Eden and God commanded him to "cultivate and keep". | | | He laid on this punishment: (Septuagint Genesis ch. |

| | Electronic Culture - The Hacker Work Ethic |
| | In the sixth century, for example, Benedict's monastic rule required all monks to see the work assigned to them as their duty and warned work-shy brethren by noting that "idleness is the enemy of the soul." Monks were also not supposed to question the jobs they were given. | | | Work did not belong among the church's highest ideals. | | | For hackers, passion describes the general tenor of their activity, though its fulfillment may not be sheer joyful play in all its aspects. |

| | Success in one’s calling reveals that one is truly a vehicle for the will and glory of God. | | | The new outlook elevated the religious status of the workaday world, encouraging people to apply themselves to disciplined and methodical service in their secular callings as an expression of their inward faith in God’s grace. | | | This work ethic, Weber said, “prowls” around in our lives like the “ghost of dead religious beliefs.” |

| | The Protestant church had no such power and thus the inducement to the faithful to stay modest in consumption was high. | | | It is true that the Protestant doctrines asked men to accept a humbler station and concentrate on mundane tasks and duties and, without a hierarchical church structure, there was no example of upward-mobility, acquisitiveness and expenditure. | | | So too was it Catholic, but the Catholic Church had been more prepared to forgive these (and other) sins. |

Robertson, a historian at the University of Cape Town, asserted in "A Criticism of Max Weber and His School" that the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant Churches stressed the same precepts in the 16th and 17th centuries. | | | As soteriologically conceived in relation to salvation, works are spiritual activities that call for obedience to the Law. | | | Tawney saw the capitalist concepts of division of labor and planned accumulation as being reflected in the dogma of Protestantism which urged its followers to use one's calling on earth for the greater glory of God. |

| | Weber - Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism |
| | For instance, the dislike and the persecution which Methodist workmen in the eighteenth century met at the hands of their comrades were not solely nor even principally the result of their religious eccentricities, England had seen many of those and more striking ones. | | | But it was traditionalistic business, if one considers the spirit which animated the entrepreneur: the traditional manner of life, the traditional rate of profit, the traditional amount of work, the traditional manner of regulating the relationships with labour, and the essentially traditional circle of customers and the manner of attracting new ones. | | | This point of view (the one of which we shall speak later) is, further, by no means the only possible one from which the historical phenomena we are investigating can be analysed. |

| | I find that problematic-certainly there seems to be a connection of some kind between the middle-class capitalist ethic and Calvinistic religion, but it is not clear which direction that link goes. | | | Rather than a general theory or explanation of either economics or religion, Weber attempts to draw a specific link between what he sees as the conjunction of the work ethic of Protestant (mainly Calvinist) spiritual teachings, and the success of Western European Capitalism. | | | Work is thus a means of overcoming a system of deliberate self-alienation, and is vitally necessary. |

| | There was a dimension to the belief in hard work as the inevitable route to personal and collective salvation. | | | A universal taboo is placed on idleness, and industriousness is considered a religious ideal; waste is a vice, and frugality a virtue; complacency and failure are outlawed, and ambition and success are taken as sure signs of God's favour; the universal sign of sin is poverty, and the crowning sign of God's favour is wealth. | | | As he was directly responsible for the line works Kustenjeh-Chernavoda and Varna-Rustchuck, Barkley gained first hand information about the character and working habits of his international "navvies". |
