Summary

Human resource management is a foundational element for an ethical and moral organizational culture and a humane and just employee work environment. Christian Scripture and Human Resource Management provides a much-needed Christian faith-based perspective on human resources management written for both line and human resource managers using the framework of servant leadership, the mandated leadership approach used by Jesus.

By providing a comprehensive conceptual framework model supported by Christian scripture, Roberts integrates and balances mission achievement with motive, means and ends integrity from both a line manager and human resource department perspective. This new work appeals to those in leadership, management, staff and volunteer positions, churches, para-church, and faith-based organizations, as well as Christian business leaders and Christian employees in all sectors.
