Abstract:
The ancient and modern business owners have made great efforts to upgrade their business performance, and management is the key element for enhancing business performance. Nonetheless, we can hardly fulfill our unlimited ambitions with limited resources. Consequently, this study investigates the substantial meaning of humanistic qualities in Confucian Analects for business operation as well as explores the scientific concepts (including Hawthorne Effect and John Henry effect) and the Confucian core ideas based on a "humanistic" perspective which incorporates eight Confucian virtues (moral injunction of fidelity to one's parents and brothers and to the monarch and friends, the sense of propriety, justice, integrity and shame) and two Buddhist virtues (benevolence and compassion).
