Contribution Of Hinduism To Modern Day Management-Part II
Continued From The First Part
Hindu way of Approach to 'Theory of Motivation'
The Rishis of this holy land after spending generations on experiment have found that the real cheer and satisfaction of a man lies not in the outer world but in his own inner subjective world. Therefore wealth and worldly goods, power and position, name and fame cannot provide man lasting peace and satisfaction.
Hence incentive - be it monetary or non-monetary is no way going to boost the labour productivity in the long-run if they see their employment merely as a source of income. Employees, therefore, need to be chastened to work beyond their selfish need by bringing forth in them the 'Yagna-Spirit'- the spirit of service and selfless sacrifice. The highest motivating technique is therefore to educate the worker in line with Karma Yoga of Bhagavad Gita.
“Ishtan
bhogan

The

what

Virtually
by

Theory of Leadership in Hindu Scripture
"Master the mind and you will master the world" - the age old slogan of the sagacious Hindu sages to excel in each and every field or activity as an effective leader has a special place in management philosophy. A manger should first learn to master himself before he masters others as to acquire the leadership traits like self-confidence, persistance, initiation, decisiveness etc. as pronounced in the 'Trait Theory of Leadership'
Again a manager as a leader should be self-motivated to work with the spirit of Yagna. Without being self-motivated how can he motivate others? Hence the Gita says
“Joshet sarva karmani vidwan yuktah samacharan"
The manager should first diligently perform all activities with devotion and slowly and steadily inspire the subordinates to work with him with a sense of dedication. Man being essentially an imitating animal, subordinates would automatically imitate the manners and enthusiastically put-forth the best in them by surrendering their selfish desires.
Contribution of Hinduism preserved in the rich treasures of Indian Scriptures has been serving as a marine compass to modern day management, which basically draws its inspiration from western psychology and value system. The management scientists should come forward to explore this vast treasure and help the management of business houses in bringing about group dynamism at work and actuating the Vedantic message
“May
we
prosper
together
and
enjoy
the
prosperity
in
common
Let
there
be
peace,
peace
and
peace"
