“The five restraints (truthfulness, not to steal, non-violence, sexual
moderation, non-possession) and the five observances (surrendering to
god, satisfaction, purity, austerity, self-knowledge) of Hinduism inform
the practice of business (Ramakrishna, n.d.). “
The Gita also considers that the person and the person‟s job should be
aligned.
Business managers must discern the skills and abilities of each worker
and assign that worker to a job the worker can handle. Workers so
assigned must work with a good attitude. Managers and workers must
practice the seven duties of “forgiveness, self-control, non-stealing,
steadiness, truthfulness, wisdom, and learning” (Chattopadhyay, 2012, p. 117).
Business governance must exhibit the five basic human values of
peace, love, truth, righteousness, and good conduct. Leaders of
businesses must know him or herself, and must manage him or herself
before managing other people. (Dunn & Jensen, 2019, p. 41)
