Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to provide an overview of the relevance and applicability of the Hindu tradition to organizational learning.

Design/methodology/approach

Attempting to separate the spiritual from the religious aspects, a primarily theoretical approach is used to delineate the basic concepts in Hinduism and their applicability to various aspects of employee and organizational functioning.

Findings

Concepts such as Yoga, Dharma, Karma, Yajna and Lokasamgraha are discussed.

Originality/value

This paper stems from the recognition of cultural differences and the need to explore alternative paradigms to understand and enhance organizational functioning.
