Abstract
Work ethic, a concept related to favourable values and attitudes towards working, is under the effect of social culture. While the cultural characteristics of some societies are shaped by the idea that working is sufficient and vital for success, this may be just the contrary for some others. In the societies in which the belief that hardworking brings the success is comparatively weak, it may be highly expected that success need some other social institutions, family relationships, luck, a divine hand and so on. The individual may also think that however hard he works, he can not achieve his goals. In this situation, it can be told that work ethic from both social and cultural aspects is low or insufficient. So in this context, the work ethic literature and culture in our country have been tried to analyse together. This work can be regarded as a reference work.
