About The Book:
This short book (total 41 pages) is an attempt to demonstrate the essential similarity of all major religions, and it reveals that pride and spiritual reward are intrinsic to Indian worker's socially assigned 'economic' work. This Indic work ethics, in turn, persuades the managers to become value-based role models to their own workers; moreso, these values are the same for 'secular' and 'spiritual' organisations. Thus, its findings enable all types of organisations to predict reasonably the contextual judgment and behaviour of individuals to various internal and external stimuli and, thereby, it assists in unleashing the Power of Excellence and Ethics in Human Resource Management.
This approach is not yet found in Indian literature; however, it has great implications for modern Business Managers because it avoids the 'iron cage' of industrial culture, and mediates the purposive-rational style of our business managers.
