Findings highlight how the Hindu cultural-religious-spiritual-philosophical constructs of dharma and karma act as non-conscious ideologies in participants' work values. Such culture-centered meanings of work and attendant societal Discourses (i.e., macro discourses) offer insight into the secularization of religious and philosophical aspects of everyday life in India. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Communication & Religion is the property of Religious Communication Association and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
