Chapter Chapter 1 in Christian Scripture and Human Resource Management, 2015, pp 1-44 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Human resource (HR) management is one of the foundational “windows on the heart” reflecting the individual and collective values and beliefs of leaders, managers, and employees regarding the “theology of work” and its relationship to human nature. Does the HR system honor biblical principles through shaping the values and incentives to serve, work, lead, and manage in truly a God-honoring and joyous, humble, and accountable fashion? Are we “hearers and doers” of the Word as stated in James 1:23, or do we forget to honor the principles of servant leadership as modeled by Jesus? As it states in Luke 12:48 (NRSV), “From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required.” This book is dedicated to assisting Christian leaders and managers to assume the mantle of servant leadership in human resource management (SLHRM), the God-directed and endorsed means for achieving our Great Commandment and Commission missions. Servant leadership is the approach to leadership promoted by scripture and provides the greatest opportunity to honor God and bless our employers.
