Comparative Analysis of Religious Principles and Business Ethics

Abstract

This research paper investigates the relationship between religious principles and business ethics through a comparative analysis of major world religions. By exploring the historical context, key theories, and real-world influence of religious teachings on organizational policies, leadership, employee conduct, and corporate social responsibility, the study aims to elucidate the complex relationship between faith and ethical business practices. The paper also addresses challenges and criticisms surrounding the integration of religious principles in business, such as conflicts with secular ethics, ethical relativism, and difficulties in multinational corporations. The findings underscore the significant impact of religious principles on shaping business ethics, while acknowledging the need for further research and open dialogue to navigate the challenges posed by the intersection of religion and business in a globalized world.
