There is a huge disparity between Western philosophers' views of work (Karma) and what is found in Indian knowledge. Max Weber studied the effect of Western Capitalism on Protestant ethics. Job is an uncomfortable task, according to Freud: the guiding force that gives one's life direction and purpose. But it is explained in distinct ways by the Indian philosophy of work (Karma) and further defined generally in the Bhagavad Gita as Nishkam Karma Yoga. Karma means behaviour that is not forbidden, that is not harmful and that is not carried out with a selfish intent, but with the intention of social well-being. Only by Karma yoga is the growth of the self, the community and society, and the industry possible. Whereas, Nishkam Karma Yoga stresses the action itself, regardless of personal benefits, to fulfil one’s duty proficiently Gita further suggests that every person should compulsorily perform his duties. It is predicted that none would shun his duties. In this community, people who are socialised consider themselves to be born with obligations rather than with rights. Societies differ in the degree to which the importance of work compared to other positions in life is instilled in their members. In order to successfully apply their management methods, many consultants and coaches have embraced Gita awareness. The American conglomerate, General Electric, also reports on breakthroughs in leadership training focused on Gita-adapted concepts. In this way, the relationship between belief in the Bhagavad Gita, religiosity, workplace spirituality, job success and organisational engagement was also explored in this report.
