- Jan-Jun
This paper addresses the issue of dehumanization in the workplace and attempts to offer directions to restore the balance between `results' and `relations' in organizations: The author has drawn inspiration from the classical Indian concept of spandan (vibration) and translates it into actionable vales for integral development of the human being at three levels - interpersonal, institutional and cosmic. Using insights from empirical work done in Indian organizations, the author advocates a maternalistic style of management based on human values against the backdrop of an overaching unitarian (advaita) philosophy for evolving holistic management principles and practices in future. - Reproduced.
