The Implementation of Tri Hita Karana Values in the Modern Work Culture of Great Value Medi Group

This study examines the implementation of the traditional Balinese philosophy Tri Hita Karana within the modern corporate work culture of Medi Group, a locally owned business in Bali. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this research explores how Tri Hita Karana, which emphasizes harmonious relationships between humans and God (Parahyangan), among humans (Pawongan), and between humans and nature (Palemahan), can be integrated into modern organizational practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, including the CEO and Chief Human Officer of Medi Group, supported by observations and document analysis. Using Edgar Schein’s Organizational Culture Theory, the study analyzes the cultural layers of the company, specifically through its core corporate values known as "GREAT" (Grateful, Respectful, Empower, Abundance, Trust). The findings reveal that Tri Hita Karana principles have been effectively incorporated into Medi Group’s organizational culture, influencing company values, employee behavior, internal regulations, and visual symbols. This integration demonstrates that traditional philosophies can coexist with modern business practices, fostering both cultural preservation and sustainable corporate development. The study provides practical implications for other companies in Bali to adopt local wisdom in their corporate governance to enhance social and environmental harmony.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the traditional Balinese philosophy Tri Hita Karana within the modern corporate work culture of Medi Group, a locally owned business in Bali. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this research explores how Tri Hita Karana, which emphasizes harmonious relationships between humans and God (Parahyangan), among humans (Pawongan), and between humans and nature (Palemahan), can be integrated into modern organizational practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, including the CEO and Chief Human Officer of Medi Group, supported by observations and document analysis. Using Edgar Schein’s Organizational Culture Theory, the study analyzes the cultural layers of the company, specifically through its core corporate values known as "GREAT" (Grateful, Respectful, Empower, Abundance, Trust). The findings reveal that Tri Hita Karana principles have been effectively incorporated into Medi Group’s organizational culture, influencing company values, employee behavior, internal regulations, and visual symbols. This integration demonstrates that traditional philosophies can coexist with modern business practices, fostering both cultural preservation and sustainable corporate development. The study provides practical implications for other companies in Bali to adopt local wisdom in their corporate governance to enhance social and environmental harmony.
