Buddhist Integration to Human Resource Management According to the Principles of Aparihaniyadhamma

Abstract

The research study aims to accomplish the following objectives: 1) to explore the principles of human resource management in accordance with the principles of Aparihaniyadhamma, and 2) to establish a model of Buddhist integration to human resource management based on the principles of Aparihaniyadhamma. This study adopts a qualitative research approach. The research findings are as follows:
1. The principles of human resource management consist of principles of balance, capability, stability, political neutrality, development, suitability, justice, welfare, human relations, and human rights. The principles of Aparihaniyadhamma include the following seven principles: convening meetings during appropriate times, not enacting rules not previously established, not abolishing established rules, respecting and venerating elders, refraining from oppressing women, respecting and venerating monastic establishments, and protecting those with virtuous qualities.
2. The model of Buddhist integration to human resource management, guided by the principles of Aparihaniyadhamma, involves processes such as selection and recruitment, appointment and orientation. These processes require consistent and collective meetings, fostering a creative organizational culture, respecting diverse opinions, mutual honor, adherence to organizational rules, and upholding justice.
