Abstract
This study analyzes the outlining of an integral paradigm of management, located at the intersection of human resource management, organizational ethics, artificial intelligence and theological anthropology. The paper highlights the shift from an administrative approach to personnel management to strategic and human-centered management, in which employees are seen as people endowed with dignity, creativity and the capacity for innovation. Through the contrast between the model of the "economic man" and the theological concept of the man created according to the "Image of God", the study proposes a reconsideration of managerial practices beyond the utilitarian logic and the exclusive orientation towards profit. The research also examines the role of spiritual management, value innovation, and artificial intelligence in developing sustainable, ethical, and competitive organizations. Both the opportunities generated by AI in recruitment, assessment, talent development and decision-making are highlighted, as well as the risks associated with algorithmic bias, decision-making opacity and diminishing the human dimension of work. The study concludes that the future of human resource management must be based on responsible collaboration between humans and algorithms, supported by ethical governance, transparency, human oversight and respect for the dignity of the person.
