SANKHYA YOG’S TRIGUNA THEORY AS AN INTERVENTION FOR EFFECTIVE TRAINING

Sankhya Yoga is India’s ancient philosophical thought or school, it has been serving fundamental basis for devotional and philosophical thoughts and discussions from the ancient times. Sage Kapila (Kapila Muni) was a well-known and respected sage, he was the person who propagated the doctrine of ‘sankhya’ during the 7th–6th centuries BC. Sankhya presented theory of dualism on supernatural arrangement; the main focus of this theory was on understanding the difference between Puruṣa (pure consciousness) and Prakṛti (ancient matter). This provides a proper and well organised understanding of reason of a human’s cognition, conduct, and emancipation (Larson, 1979; Ishvara Krishna, 1912/1979; Rao & Paranjpe, 2016). Currently corporates and organizations in the context of non-technical skills/training accept emotional intelligence, decision-making, effective leadership as crucial factors which can influence performance of managers (Barrick & Mount, 1991; Goleman, 1995; Tett & Burnett, 2003). This approach on the working, decision making of managers is narrowly defined; it is described as inappropriate due to being without consideration for rational, emotional, and ethical scopes (Kinjerski & Skrypnek, 2006).Working of managers and the employees is directly associated with organization’s performance Cherniwchan, (2012). From a microeconomic perspective, human resource training functions as an internal efficiencyenhancing mechanism by improving individual productivity, decision quality, and behavioural alignment, thereby influencing cost structures, resource allocation, and overall organizational performance. Conceptualizing training as a microeconomic intervention, this study positions Sankhya Yoga–based human resource development as a means of enhancing rationality, ethical judgment, and behavioural discipline, which collectively improve labour efficiency and firmlevel economic outcomes. This research paper recounts the application of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) i.e., present Sankhya Yoga as management psychology, suggesting a detail system for effective non-technical training by combining concepts of Purusa and Prakriti (creating conscious mind and behaviour psychology), and working on moral principles (i.e., ethics) in modern training effectiveness (Rao & Paranjpe, 2016; Sharma, 2013).
