| Abstract | ||
| Work commitment is intensely emphasized in the context of work and positive characteristic traits from the Middle and the New kingdoms. The texts hint at traits that were overall perceived as the socially recognized ideal conduct in work atmosphere. The texts constitute a catalogue of how committed and disciplined employees, officials and workers were, making it possible to better understand work values and ethics in the Middle and the New Kingdoms. The subject even sheds light on other related factors such as co-workers, workplace, climate, mastering skills and work conditions. Only rare attestations expressing work commitment are encountered in tomb scenes from the Middle and the New Kingdoms. Nonetheless, exchanged dialogues in the featured workshops and fields should have been inspired from real life. The research is therefore an approach to aspects of the topic of labour in ancient Egypt, with associated sources of information from the Middle and the New Kingdoms. | ||
