Abstract
The scholarly sources that are reviewed using a review methodology include management journals and scripture-based research. The findings provide a conceptual framework where the main premises of Vidura Niti, such as truthfulness, fairness, self-discipline, compassion, and priority of duty, coincide with the existing ethical HR practices and add to them. Such results are also presented through the prism of corporate practice around the globe, with both opportunities and challenges mentioned concerning incorporating ancient wisdom of ethics in contemporary HR practices. The conclusion of the paper is that Vidura Niti offers a solid values-oriented basis on which HR practitioners should develop ethicalorganizational cultures and delineates the future research directions on such an interdisciplinary convergence.
