This case study focuses on the business and Human Resource relevance of the dilemma posed by the two conflicting schools of ethical judgment – ethics of care versus ethics of justice. The different points of view have been explored and their relevance based on a hypothetical scenario in a Chemical Plant. The long debated philosophical theories given by Immanuel Kant the German philosophers in the 17th century and John Rawls, an American moral and political philosopher have been debated in the case. Through this case, ethical dilemma faced by an HR manager when confronted with the need to care for development and welfare of the employees while catering to his/her duties towards the company has been highlighted. The most important task of HR manager is to extract and ensure maximum productivity from the employees with highest quality. However, while ensuring ethical practices in the organization; sometimes the duty takes a backseat. This puts a great dilemma before manager while taking a decision where all stakeholders employer as well as employee are looked after. Continuing on the ethical dilemma, the different point of views has been analyzed from where such a problem can be approached. While these may not be comprehensive, they do cover the majority of perspectives. Leaving the case open ended, researcher has kept the various options open to the HR manager, from the following angles – deontology v/s teleology, practicality v/s emotionality, uniformity v/s specificity, ethics of obligations v/s ethics of rights, loopholes v/s letter of the law, duty towards people v/s duty towards company.

Leadership plays a significant role in shaping an organization's culture. A new type of organization is emerging that aims at not only earning profit through its business, but also at contributing to the benefit and well being of the members of the society. These organizations are led by a new type of leader who is called a humanistic leader (Prasad, 2011). This paper looks at the importance of humanistic leadership style in shaping this new type of organization. We also look at these organizations using the lens of established frameworks such as the Corporate Social Responsibility pyramid developed by Buchholtz & Carroll. These organizations look at the well-being of all stakeholders including owners, vendors, customers, employees and other shareholders. These organizations behave like responsible corporate citizens and new emerging research suggests that these organizations are being rewarded by their customers, as well as the shareholders. This development will in turn create a new model of business which is based on win-win strategy for all the stakeholders of an organization. Many of these new class of leaders display higher order needs such as self-transcendence and self-actualization in the Maslow's schema of needs arranged in a hierarchical pyramid. This paper suggests that the research in the areas of individual motivation of leaders can be merged with research in the area of leadership and organizational culture to help understand this new emerging trend.

Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya was born in 8th Century A.D. at village Kaladi situated on the banks of the Periyar River in Kerala, India. Many scholars of Sanskrit language, Indian history, Culture and ethos are of common opinion that Hindu religion would not have been in existence if Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya would not have been lived / taken birth. He has been widely known as an incarnation of Lord Shiva. This paper attempts to study and develop an insight from the life, events, teachings, lineage and practices of “Jagadguru Shankaracharya” and co-relating the same to the contemporary concepts, practices of management discipline and chart out lessons to be learnt for the managers / CEOs.
Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya于公元8世纪出生在印度喀拉拉邦佩里亚尔河畔的卡拉迪村。许多研究梵语、印度历史、文化和精神的学者都认为，如果贾加古鲁·阿迪·尚卡拉查里亚没有出生，印度教就不会存在。他被广泛认为是湿婆神的化身。本文试图从“Jagadguru Shankaracharya”的生活、事件、教义、血统和实践中研究和发展一种洞察力，并将其与当代管理学科的概念、实践联系起来，并为管理者/首席执行官们提供值得学习的经验教训。

This article is providing a conceptual model for development of leadership competencies. Considering leadership as a phenomenon of Complex Adaptive Systems comprising multiple components as leader, follower and context; authors explore 'Vedanta Model of Leadership' based on Philosophy of Advaita Vedanta by Adi Shankaracharya. Organisations are manifestations of a complex phenomenon which can be explained through triad concept of Self-People-Situations representing Brahman-Jiva-Prakruti model of Existence.

Workplace Spirituality is a contextualized phenomenon that seeks to identify and build meaning, connectedness and the sense of transcendence at workplace. In this regard, this paper analyzes the different approaches of researchers to pin down the concept of workplace spirituality. Further, it probes into the diverse ways in which various research constructs of workplace spirituality have been operationalized. In this connection, discussion is made with regard to levels of analysis of the constructs of workplace spirituality. The concept of workplace spirituality is situated as a contextualized phenomenon of spirituality in general, even as religion is distinguished from spirituality. The originality of this paper lies in the comparative study that it makes of the constructs of workplace spirituality conceptualized and operationalized by prior research at individual, group and organizational levels. Further, this paper has critically reviewed the scales that have been developed to capture the construct of workplace spirituality in its varied conceptualizations. Furthermore, this paper has identified the elements of commonly agreed upon dimensions of workplace spirituality that are sought to be operationalized across different measurement scales of workplace spirituality. Accordingly, this paper has theoretically contributed towards the development of robust measurement scales of the sub-constructs of workplace spirituality.

Stress, the word whenever strikes the mind is usually interpreted in negative terms though in practice stress as a variable can be a good motivator if present only to a certain level (eustress), but when it crosses that minimum required limit and turns into distress, it may cause an employee loose interest in the job and hence reduce the job satisfaction level and hence may result into a lesser commitment to organization. It may even become such a big de-motivator that can even reduce the energy and zeal of an employee to even work any further. Thus this study is an attempt in finding out the relationship that organizational commitment shares with job satisfaction and the impact that occupational stress has on the relationship.

Organizational politics is seen as a process through which one tries to fulfill their goals without considering the well- being of others. The ways adopted for fulfillment of goals might be sanctioned or unsanctioned (Mintzberg, 1985). Ethics works as a foundation for the Organisation as it provides employees with a shared value system around which the intra organizational and inter organisation communication takes place. The aim of this research paper is to find out whether politics and ethics survives subsist together in an organization or not. An empirical study has been conducted to attain our objective. The study was conducted in Academic organisations. The idea behind selecting Academic organisation is that these institutions are considered as idle organizations where one learns morals, values and discipline. The outcome of this study shows that ethics and politics can be present together in an organisation.

Leadership is the ability of an individual to influence people to achieve desired goals. Different studies in this area have propounded various theories ranging from Trait theory of leadership to behavioral approach models to contingency models. Earlier people were of the opinion that individuals are born with leadership traits, either they are born leaders or are not. Then came a phase when people realized that these traits can be acquired too. But all these studies could not come up with any conclusive list of leadership traits. Various successful leaders may have similar traits but we are yet to come across the set of traits that every leader must possess. In nut shell we may say that, “which traits to acquire”, which specific traits make you a leader is still a question? Now a day's increasingly, scholars are talking about transformational leadership as a tool to get better results in the organization. Transformational leaders influence the employee job satisfaction & morale in a positive manner. Responding to this requirement of industry, in this paper the researcher has made an attempt to identify the traits which a transformational leader must possess. The study is based on a descriptive analysis of Durga Saptashati - a Hindu religious text. The study arrived at a conclusive summary of the traits of a transformational leader. Study revealed that the transformational leader has to be perceived as a man with solutions rather than the man with problems.

Role stress has been extensively studied in organizational psychology and the present study focused on two types of role stress: role conflict and role ambiguity. The purpose of the study is to examine the moderating effect of gender in the relationship between role stress and job satisfaction for software professionals which had received little attention in Indian context. A Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used to analyze the data which includes confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), path analysis and multi-group moderation analysis. The results of the study revealed that there was slight increase in negative effect of role conflict on job satisfaction and slight decrease in negative effect of role ambiguity on job satisfaction among female employees. In case of male there was no increase or decrease in negative effect of role conflict and role ambiguity on job satisfaction. This study found invariant moderation effect of gender on relationship between role stress (role conflict and role ambiguity) and job satisfaction. Research implications, suggestions for role stress management and scope for future research are provided.

This study investigated the influence of spirituality, environmental concern and ecological knowledge on consumers green purchase intention. The sample was undergraduate students of the University of Delhi. Using hierarchical multiple regression analysis, this study found that spirituality, environmental concern and ecological knowledge significantly influenced consumers green purchase intention. Therefore, this study supports the idea that spirituality, environmental concern and ecological knowledge should correspond to a stronger desire to consume the pro-environmental product. Further, this research finding may help public policy makers in fostering green consumption and marketers in designing sustainable marketing strategies.
