BUDDHIST MANAGAMENT TO DRIVE ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

This academic article focuses on the study of Buddhist management for driving organizations, based on research from textbooks, books, websites, and synthesis. The study found that Western management theories have clear conceptual frameworks with distinct theoretical outcomes in systematic regimes, broken down into steps, such as the Deming cycle, which discusses the work cycle in sequential steps including planning, implementing the plan, checking, and acting. These principles can be well-integrated with Buddhist principles. Buddhist management is divided into two parts: for leaders, which include the principles of Dutiyapapanika, 1. Cakkhumā, having a broad vision, 2. Vidhuro, effectively managing tasks with high efficiency, 3. Nissayasampanno, possessing good interpersonal skills to persuade others to work. The second part is virtues for personnel in organizations, which include the three forms of honesty: honesty in body, speech, and mind. These can be integrated with Western theories in accordance with organizational laws, regulations, and codes of conduct, while maintaining ethical integrity and promoting smooth operations without disputes, showing positive attitudes towards colleagues or the organization.
