Abstract

Machiavelli’s The Prince has been cherished for more than 500 years, withits various facets used by scholarsand researchers of management sciences. But with the dawn of positive organizational scholarship, the Machiavellianprince with his dark aspects does not appear compatible. Hence, the emerging field, resting more on humans’positive side, is also in need of an idol the way Machiavelli’s The Prince has been idolized through the traditionalviews of management and business. As a result, the current study has reviewed Prince Myshkin, the protagonist inDostoevsky’s The Idiot as the alternative and antagonist to Machiavelli’s style. Hence the current study identifies thepossible ethical implications in human resource management which can be guided through the character of PrinceMyshkin. The study also analyzes how two different princes (i.e.,Prince Myshkin and Machiavelli’s prince) guidemanagers under similar situations, thus guiding managers to deal in contemporary tones with the way of the newprince (i.e., Prince Myshkin).
