Final Reflections

Chapter Chapter 12 in Christian Scripture and Human Resource Management, 2015, pp 223-226 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The SLHRM organization and leader can never lose sight that the collective policies and practices of human resource management are the product of individual and group decision making. The SLHRM culture rests upon a worldview and the associated attitudes and behaviors that construct the edifice of HR policies and practices. Hence, there is always ethical, moral, and spiritual accountability for our HR systems. No matter how formalized, routinized, and bureaucratized, human free-will decision making is at the heart of ethical and moral accountability. Hence, a SLHRM organization begins and ends with leaders who embrace character growth and integrity through self-knowledge. Growth in SLHRM is a lifelong and intermittently painful, individual and collective growth process. We can all relate to the central role of trial and tribulation in the shaping and restoration of the heart. A mountaintop experience inspires given the breadth and depth of vision, but the close-quarter spiritual warfare combat involved in the Christian maturation process is waged on a daily basis in the dense undergrowth of the spiritual jungle with limited lines of sight. We must rely on the Holy Spirit for direction, strength, and wisdom to resist the hidden dangers of ambush by the idols of this world that seek to rule our hearts. We must resist the root cause of our great enemies of discouragement and despair, as there are specific actions we must undertake while relying on God to do the rest.
