TRISIKKHA FOR HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ]OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

This academic article aimed to study and propose guidelines for applying the principle of Tiisikha (Threefold Training) in the development of human resources in local administrative organizations, which were governmental bodies playing a vital role in providing services and improving the quality of life of the people. Human resource development is considered an essential mission intended to enhance the capacities of personnel in terms of knowledge, skills, and morality, in accordance with the human resource development process consisting of training, education, and development. Investment in human resources is regarded as a form of national investment that enhanced efficiency and progress for both organizations and the country. However, sustainable human resource development requires integration with Buddhist principles, particularly Tisikkha, which comprised Sila, the development of behavior and discipline; Samadhi, the cultivation of mental stability; and Panna, the enhancement of knowledge, understanding, and analytical thinking. The application of Tisikkha contributed to personnel developing appropriate behaviors, stable mental health, and wisdom to solve problems prudently, resulting in more effective and responsible work performance. The development of human resources in local administrative organizations should combine academic approaches to human resource development with the principle of Tisikkha in a systematic manner, so that personnel would achieve complete potential in knowledge, morality, and professional competence, thereby enabling them to fulfill organizational missions and achieve local development goals effectively and sustainably.
