I've read it is learned. All human bodies are "wired" for activity, mainly in the gather food, stay warm, seek shelter, get some sleep type of way. DNA doesn't have a way to record and induct today's perceptions of not being lazy-for exercise, intense studying, work ethic are modern concepts.
That's a science view. Personally, I feel it is learned from your parents. When I examine my gf she does things like her parents and I notice I strictly abide to an ethic smilar to my own parents. I thinks it's just what you grow up into. But, on the other hand, I have seen personal experiences change a person, so, I think personal trauma of some sort can get one motivated-such as embarassment about soe thing wrong you did or loss of an opportunity because you know you didn't work as hard as the other guy.

Laziness is an acquired trait and it cannot be passed on genetically

Humans choose to work or be lazy or be organized or disorganized, physically fit or unhealthy, but when they sexually reproduce their offspring may be quite different

although society, social mores, personality and psychology may play a role, genetics does not

So for example, you may have a body builder who works out 5 days a week and a fitness model who has a fantastic figure have a child, the child may be overweight and lazy if it acquires these habits

bear fruit, to be and to feel useful and effective. Most of our own success and that of our children is experienced and demonstrated through accomplishments, the attainments of our heads and our hands, the sum total of our school, family, and career contributions. From early in childhood on through our adult years, we want to show what we can do. We gain energy and feel good about ourselves whenever our personal output wins the approval, the acceptance, the respect of our friends, our families, our bosses (or teachers), and, most of all, our own self-critical selves. To feel fulfilled in life, it helps immeasurably if you can take pride in your work.

Some individuals somehow, somewhere lose momentum; in the pursuit of accomplishment they fail to produce; they stall out. And often they face accusations of laziness. In truth, through no fault of their own, they suffer from hidden handicaps that disrupt and interrupt their output. They are not lazy; they have output failure.

The power and the vulnerability of the drive to be productive are frequently neglected. I believe that adults and children alike feel that a large part of who they are comes from what they do, particularly what they have produced or are producing, and what they aspire to achieve in the future. Casualties result when individuals have output failure and come to believe that their work is worthless and perhaps never will be worthy. Our society pays an exorbitant price to restore their mental health, to punish them within our justice system, to deal with their underemployment, and to cope with the many other negative effects of their thwarted drives toward success.
