I would argue that the concept of “work ethic” is a rather recent phenomenon. As technology evolved to make our lives easier, humans naturally were allowed more and more leisure time.
Earlier generations did not recognize this idea of “work ethic” due to the fact that if they did not tend to their crops and raise a family to help with the labour, they wouldn’t be able to feed their family, trade with other people, etc.
Our current generation is recognizing work ethic as a kind of measuring stick, comparing those who understand the value of work vs those who don’t.
So I don’t really have a direct answer to your question, just food for thought.
