Confucian Faith And Modern Enterprise Management

" Sincerity "Confucianism is a moral principle and behavior standard advocated by all the Confucians. It is an important category of the traditional ethics and ethics of the Chinese nation. It has very rich connotations. Its existence and evolution not only have a great influence on the inheritance of ancient Chinese traditional ethics and morals, but also have a very important influence on the formation of the Chinese nation's honesty and culture and the cultivation of the ideal personality. Confucian faith in modern society, especially in the market economy, is essential for the normal development and prosperity of the society. It also has very important theoretical value and reference significance for modern enterprise management.

The connotation of Confucian faith

Integrity is an important category in the Confucian theory system, and it is also a moral principle and behavior criterion advocated by Confucianism all the time. "Faith" is one of the Confucian "five constant" (benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trust). "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" explains: "believers, honesty, also from people's words". Kong Yingda, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, said in his commentary on "faithfulness and reconciliation": "trust is not deceive."

The honesty and credit in the Confucian theory and ideology system has very rich connotations. It has three main meanings: first, "honesty" as a philosophical category is true, that is, the true and unassuming way. It refers to the fact that everything in the universe does not have everything. Secondly, "honesty" is a moral category, which is honesty, which is the basic quality of human beings. "Since ancient times, people have died and people have no faith." if a person does not have credit, he can not settle down. The university regards "sincerity" as one of the eight entries, while the golden mean regards honesty as the foundation of all virtues. Thirdly, "faith", as a moral category and a code of conduct, is the externalization of "honesty" within human beings, which is embodied in the practice of social morality, that is, to trust others. Therefore, Confucius said: "people without faith, do not know how they can. Why is a cart without a car and a car without a sword? "It means that, for example, a cattle cart has no crossbars of cattle, and a cart has no horse's crossbars. How can a car walk?" therefore, the combination of "sincerity" and "faith" reflects the moral thought that Confucians emphasize that people must have the same internal and external conditions, the unity of words and deeds and the unity of knowing and doing.

Confucian faith thought Modern value

In modern times, the meaning of honesty has evolved to be honest, trustworthy, abide by the promise and be responsible for the truth. Its existence and evolution not only have great influence on the inheritance of ancient Chinese traditional ethics. The essence of the integrity thought formed by the thinkers of the past dynasties has exerted a very important influence on the formation of the Chinese nation's honesty and integrity, the formation of a credit culture tradition, and the cultivation of the ideal personality. It has played an important role in many fields of society, and in the modern society, especially in the market economy, the normal development and prosperity of the society is also essential, and it also has important reference significance for today's integrity construction.

The modern value of Confucian faith is mainly embodied in the following three points:

Advocating and carrying forward the idea of honesty and credit is conducive to the cultivation of healthy personality and the formation and establishment of harmonious interpersonal relationship.

After more than two thousand years of advocacy and practice, the Confucian ideology of integrity has become the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and the basic philosophy of life philosophy. In real life, honesty has become one of the most important criteria to measure a person's ideological quality and moral standard. Only those who abide by promises, sincere and honest deeds and words and deeds will be respected and loved by others and can be based on society. In a wide range of social life, advocating and complying with the principle of good faith is conducive to communication and coordination among people, between individuals and society, to the establishment of cooperation and trust relations, to the formation of harmonious interpersonal relationship, and to the all-round development of human beings.

Contribute to the fundamental improvement of the social atmosphere.

Advocating and carrying forward the ethics of honesty and credit helps to promote the construction of political morality and civic morality, and helps to promote the fundamental improvement of social ethos.

Honesty, as the basic way of building national people, still has important reference and enlightenment value for us today.

Advocating and carrying forward the idea of honesty and credit helps regulate economic activities and form a moral atmosphere and social environment of honest, honest and fair dealing.

Honesty and deception, keeping promises and following contracts are especially important in economic activities. In modern society, integrity is a necessary factor to ensure normal economic activities and maintain sustained economic development. The socialist market economy that we are building is not only a legal economy, but also a moral economy. Therefore, all economic activities must abide by the laws and standards as well as the moral standards. Integrity is one of the most important moral norms in the socialist market economy. It has universal normative and binding significance for economic activities.

　　 market economy It is an economic way to achieve effective allocation of resources through fair competition and cooperative economic relations. It is an economic form characterized by equal exchange. In bilateral or multilateral transactions, once the chain or link of integrity breaks, it will result in loss of interest to both parties or parties and cause the destruction of market operation mechanism and the confusion of market order. Therefore, in the process of the establishment and development of market economy, integrity is an indispensable and important economic resource. It not only has important moral value, but also has important economic value.

Enlightenment of Confucian Honesty and faith on modern enterprise management

In modern society, people are deeply aware that honesty is not only the foundation of individual career, but also the foundation for the survival and development of an enterprise. The Enlightenment of Confucian faith to modern enterprise management is mainly in the following three aspects:

The internal managers should establish a trust mechanism among the managers, subordinates, superiors, employees and employees.

The premise of establishing a trust mechanism in management is respect for people, and what assumptions are made about human nature. If we believe that human nature is good, people have aspirant, dedicated spirit and desire to realize their own value, so we have the possibility of building up a trust mechanism. On the contrary, if we believe that human nature is evil, it is mercenary and lazy, then it is impossible to establish a trust mechanism. Since the reform and opening up, with the return of human nature in management and the development of humanism, many scholars and enterprises in the world are competing to explore the trust mechanism in management. In addition, some enterprises in China have also sublimated the honesty and faith of the traditional management of our country on the basis of their own practice, and constantly explored the problem of establishing trust mechanism. Managers show their love and respect to their staff and workers, and their employees will inevitably quote "love" and "respect", because "lovers are always in love, and people who respect people are always respectful." We must make management work full of human touch, which is an important condition for establishing credibility mechanism within enterprises.

We should establish a good faith mechanism between enterprises and users and consumers.

As the saying goes, we should invite customers from all over the world and take honesty as the basis, and "trust to guide profits", emphasizing the two words of "sincerity" and "trust". A person can not live in the world without credibility. Similarly, an enterprise can not develop without credibility. Honesty is the foundation of an enterprise's existence and development.

An outstanding, moral and strategically minded entrepreneur must have devoted his energies to technological development of products, improvement of product quality, improvement of after-sale service system and market development. Whether an enterprise practices sincerity mechanism in good faith has a problem of "enterprise conscience". What is conscience? It means moral goodness. According to Marx's point of view, conscience is the moral obligation of the society, and it is the moral self-discipline ability formed in the heart of the moral subject in the form of self-discipline. According to Pu Xinwen, Professor of the Chinese Academy of economic and cultural studies, corporate conscience is a sense of community. It is a moral concept shared by all members of an enterprise. It is a moral requirement for all members of an enterprise to transform its responsibilities and obligations outside the company. Corporate conscience is a professional conscience. It plays an important role in decision-making, regulation and evaluation of enterprise management.

An honest mechanism must also be established between enterprises and enterprises, between companies and companies.

It is still the principle of mutual trust between enterprises and companies that "trust leads to profit" and "trust generates profits". The economic links and exchanges between enterprises and all economic organizations usually adopt the form of economic contracts. Although the economic contract has legal effect, it is more important to carry out the contract. Only "sincerity" and "sincerity" can we have "faith" and "credit". Without sincerity, there will be no "faith". Honesty is the foundation and faith is the use. An enterprise is not honest, it will not be able to succeed and achieve success, so the doctrine of the mean says: "no sincerity, no substance." Without sincerity, nothing will be accomplished.

Only by "honesty" can we have "faith" and only "honesty" can we gain credibility. "Credibility" is the expression of integrity. Integrity is the foundation for the survival and development of enterprises, and the same reputation is also the foundation for the survival of enterprises. An enterprise that enjoys wide social prestige and an enterprise that has gained trust from consumers will also be an enterprise that can remain invincible in the tide of market economy.
