Abstract
This chapter examines the intersection between secular Human Resource Management (HRM) legal frameworks and Biblical principles. While legal systems, like India's four Labour Codes, establish a necessary institutional “floor” for safety and wages, they often suffer from a “compliance gap” where profit precedes personhood. Through a review of 23 articles, the research reveals that whereas secular HRM is transactional, a Biblical approach is covenantal, rooted in the concept of Imago Dei, which recognizes inherent dignity beyond economic value. The study highlights a synchronization between global standards, such as ILO conventions, and scriptural tenets, framing fair compensation as a modern codification of Biblical stewardship. Ultimately, while the law prevents exploitation, Biblical principles provide the relational depth necessary for excellence. By shifting from compliance to sacred vocation, leaders can bridge the gap between “corner-cutting” and a flourishing culture.
