Introduction For several decades, employees have been anticipating to find the best workplaces where individuals are contented with working conditions and their workplace surroundings. A contenting environment provides great motivation for workforce and it allows individuals to practice their profession skillfully, while understanding that corporate building requires their physical and psychological engagement. In addition, empirical studies have proved that best workplace environment increases employees’ productivity. From the ancient writings to the contemporary theoretical and empirical literature, the issue of preeminent or best places has been evolving over the years. Aristotle’s ethical writings have existed for a long time and labor, leisure, and freedom in workplaces have arguably been critical issues that Aristotle intensively discussed. Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics is one of the ethical writings that have spurred understanding of ethics of work place relations. This essay analyzes essential ethics of work with reference to Aristotle and his conceptions about relationships at work coupled with comparing contemporary notions of best places to work. Aristotle’s ideas on civic relationships Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics is a broad book that includes discussion of how persons should define the word ‘good’. The book discusses aspects of moral virtues, intellectual virtues, describes moral continence and incontinence, describes that nature of friendship, as well as discussing how persons should define pleasure and happiness. Of the major issues discussed by Aristotle in his conceptions about workplace ethics, civic relationships formed a great part of these ancient writings. It remains an important element from his philosophical pedagogy on principally what comprise the human good (Aristotle 18).

Aristotle’s ideas of civic association hinge on “self” and the “other self” that heavily advocates for having a civic bond or vinculum that potentially bind citizens. Aristotle’s convictions on Happiness and virtues Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics hinged upon the philia politike notion of relationship that explains three distinct forms of civic rapport that entail friendship of utility, friendship of pleasure, and friendship of virtue (Aristotle 21). However, happiness is one of the major concepts of Aristotelian ethics discussed by Aristotle. Happiness is a key component in spurring civic relationship. According to the Aristotelian ethics, a great confusion is constantly prevailing on how individuals define and distinguish goodness from happiness, and happiness from pleasure. From the Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle, happiness is eminent when friendship exist and that small pieces of personal good fortune and achievement can barely make people happy forever, but a multitude of enormous events make life happier (Aristotle 21). Based on Aristotle’s conviction, happiness of a good life (eudaimonia) remains impossible if others are in grieve. Aristotle further argue
