Are Indians over comitted to their jobs?

Yes, Indians are more committed towards their work as compared to their european counterparts. But the sad part is that they do it at the cost of their social life.

Yes.

In abroad, they have shown tremendous committment to their work. As a result they are rewarded and upgraded for higher posts. They all have learmed the principle of hard work

On analysing of behaviour of europeans and rich country citizens, it was found that great majorty follows some basic priciples like

Ethics, integrity, responsibility, respect towards law and rules, work loving, punctuality, will for super action. And the indians who are staying with them follows the same principle over and above their natural intelligence and creativity. Altogether they are committed and therefore successful.

No. The resident indians are not committed to their work and are fun loving, lazy. They are always in search of quick and free money. Countries llike australia and newzealand who have 150 years of history has added name in developed country. But India has more than 2000 years golden history are still dragging with some basic problems like education and health. If we would have shown the committment then we would have some where else today.

But still there is hope.

as due to the strong determination and   hard  working habbits indians are more comitted to their job as we know that we are lacking behind the developed countries we always thinks to grow much and try to take benefit from every oppurtunities

I think Indians are over-committed to their jobs , because , at least when we are abroad , we have no life outside of our jobs.

A friend of mine , who works with the Mittal group , in Bosnia , speaks of how other Europeans believe in having a great time after office hours , which they observe strictly. Very few Europeans work beyond normal office hours. Whereas , Indians invariably stay in their offices ( whether they work or not ) till 7 or 8 in the evening. Indians have no social life to speak of , whereas Europeans believe in going out to the museums , libraries , ski parks or even to the park for a stroll.

Whether all this makes Indians better at their jobs or not , I have no idea. But I have seen that Indians make a greater effort to know more about their jobs than Europeans / Westerners.

I think all that is mentioned in the survey may be true of the Indians who have gone abroad without adequate preparation. A cousin of mine was so fixated on going to the US ( this was in the 70s ! ) , that even when he was in college , he knew the streets of New York like the back of his hand ! He went there after college , for further studies , and never came back to India.

So it is not true that Indians , in general , do not integrate with foreign societies. Yes , most Indians may be so , but there are always exceptions.

Dear Mr Rao,

I completely agree on slave mentality as this trait alone prevents us from helping others with an open mind.

Insecurity forever prevents rational thinking, innovation or treading into new territories through research and discoveries. Thus solutions to problems as well come from sifted leftovers of developed world that may not be suitable and are of course outlived.

In the particular context, Kriti, that your posted article refers to this might be correct. But otherwise, commitment to work is not really a function of nationality. Generally Japanese are considered to be workaholics so they could be more committed to work than us. And compared to Europeans - North Europeans who enjoy lesser working hours and more vacations - Indians in the IT sector might seem to be over-commited.

Yes They ae very much committed to their jobs. Not only over committed they give more time, thought and at home also most of time mobile rings.Indians are only one who dont switch off their mobiles and aswer the queries related to their jobs when off duty. This culture is in India only. 

Geogriphical,historical and cultural behaveour contained in our genes have made us commited to our job and to some extent we are selfish and inclined to look after our family and also to see secured future not only of ourselves but of our offsprings.i feel our commitment to job is virtue

Yes, I am totally agree with you. Indians are very honest in their job.

Our level of commitments to our jobs or our partners and or our lives is way above than any other work force put together

Yes I think so. Thats why Indians end up as slaves most of the time. This is mainly because of population density. There are 100's of people waiting for every available opportunity up for grabs. This results in at least every Indian showing he is a hard worker and tries to prove that he has all the qualifications and requisite experience, through genuine or fake certificates. But he will slog or make his talentd collegues slog if he is good at it. He will then be called capable leader because he gets things done through such techniques as may be required. He will quit the job and tries to find another guineua pig before it is too late. He succeeds because he now has an aquired qualification through experience. Mya be we still have some real honest people
