Answer
1. Quality of life is largely affected by the work by which we earn our
livelihood. Our work shapes our attitudes and personality. We often
have conflicts between individual value and value in work life. These
conflicts can be categorized under the following:
i. Attitudes to work
ii. Work ethics and quality of work life
ii. Organizational values
iv. Pursuit of excellence.
i. Attitudes To Work: Why do we work? We work to earn our living and
support our family. Work is a necessity, rather it is a compulsion. At the
second level work means gaining social prestige, esteem and authority.
Farmers, artisans, labourers have a lower social status than managers,
business owners, bureaucrats and politicians who enjoy a higher status
in the society. At the third level through work we use our talent, sharpen
our skills and develop our creativity and get opportunity to learn, grow
and improve our knowledge, skills and human relationship. It is said,
Work is Worship meaning, our work in reality, is an offering (PUJA) to
Good.
ii. Work Ethics And Quality of Work Life: A worker is paid his salary/
wages and in return he is expected to contribute his best to the
organization. Without such an ethical consideration the employer/
employee relationship becomes exploitative with little trust and
cooperation between them. The second dimension of work ethics isa
sense of loyalty to the organization. A loyal employee does not promote
his personal interest at the cost of the organization. The third dimension
is that the organization must have a written, as well as, an unwritten
rules/norms and ways of working. Team working and team spirit are
the essential strengths of a successful organization. Personal honesty
and integrity are most important. The following attitudes must be avoided:
a. Misrepresentation of facts

1. The solution to this problem is to start verifying our desires, thoughts
and expectations on the basis of our natural acceptance. Since the
natural acceptance of each of us is constant and unchanging, this is
what we should be verifying our desires against. Once we access our
natural acceptance, we have the right understanding of the harmony at
all levels of our living. This results in us being able to see our 'true
nature and understand what we truly want. So our desires start getting
set on the basis of our right understanding. Since our right understanding
is based on harmony at all levels of being, which is definite, our thoughts,
desires and selection become aligned with this right understanding.
This puts an end to all conflicts, contradictions and unhappiness. Thus,
there is harmony within us, within our family, within society and nature
in general.
2. Realization and understanding are two very important aspects of this
state of harmony. Realization means the ability to 'see' the reality as it is.
