willingness to work


Explanation:
I think what they are referring to is the fact that the employee has a good attitude when the boss gives him/her an assignment and doesn't say, "Oh, my God, no!!!"

agree  Martin Schmurr: enthusiasm may be about anything - but I'm not a native, so…
19 mins
  -> danke
agree  Armorel Young: IMO willingness to work is damming with faint praise - it doesn't convey the liveliness/cheerfulness of Freude
1 hr
  -> I think you meant to disagree???? Well, that's what it is-depending upon how best to express it
agree  Maureen Holm, J.D., LL.M.: 'Hard-working' or 'willing to pitch in' is where it goes to. This is a good old-fashioned euphemism for a worker who actually is willing to work. Ron's right.
