ABSTRACT

This systematic review explores the intersection of the ancient philosophical concept of karma with contemporary management practices, employing PRISMA guidelines and AI-based bibliometric analysis to ensure rigorous methodology and comprehensive data synthesis. The study rigorously analyses the existing literature, including 27 articles that met the inclusion criteria, to investigate how principles derived from karma influence ethical leadership, employee welfare, and overall organizational performance. Results from the analysis reveal that karmic principles significantly enhance management practices by promoting ethical behavior, improving employee satisfaction, and fostering sustainable business models. The implications of these findings are profound, suggesting that the integration of karmic philosophy could fundamentally transform leadership styles and business operations, leading to more holistic and ethically driven organizational cultures. This research contributes to management studies by providing a novel perspective on integrating traditional wisdom into modern business practices, offering a pathway toward more compassionate and principled management.
