本論文以財團法人中華民國佛慈濟慈善事業基金會創辦人證嚴法師為個案研究對象,從證嚴法師發「慈悲」大心成立慈濟功德會的由來,再對其領導的願景建構、使命志業、理念教化、組織分工以及追隨者共同體認的價值進行分析,加上實際的領導案例,歸納出證嚴法師的領導核心在「慈悲」,故將此種以「慈悲」為領導的內涵、以「慈悲」為領導影響力,並依此領導追隨者實踐「慈悲」大願的領導模式稱之為「慈悲領導」。另外,依佛教經典《金剛經》之三十二品順序,逐篇以「原文」→「描述」→「論述」之方式呈現佛陀的教法,並整理歸納出「慈悲領導」的學習導引論述。最後,根據個案研究及文獻分析,提出「慈悲領導」的普遍性及適用性結論。
This thesis takes Dharma Master Cheng Yen, founder of Tzu Chi Foundation, as the subject of case study. From Dharma Master Cheng Yen’s will for compassion which lead to the founding of Tzu Chi, this paper analyzes the shared value behind the leadership vision, mission, teaching, organization, and followers, adding actual leadership cases, to conclude that “compassion” is the core value in Dharma Master Cheng Yen’s leadership. With “compassion” as the major leadership influence for followers, we name this leadership model as “Compassion Leadership”. In addition, this paper takes Chapter 32 of Buddhist classic Diamond Sutra, following the order of original text, description, explanation, to document Buddha’s doctrines, and summarizes the theory of Compassion Leadership. Finally, based on case study and literature research, this paper proposes the general applicability of Compassion Leadership.
