Abstract
Stewardship theory is offered as an alternative to principal-agent based control systems of governance. A foundation for this stewardship system of governance is to establish covenantal relationships (Davis, et al., 1997; Hernandez, 2012). In this paper, we further expand upon the notion of a covenantal community by examining the religious and philosophical roots of covenantal relationships. We focus on the history of the Jewish community and the teachings within the Torah as it provides an institutional context of covenantal relationships, how they are modeled in Jewish history, and how they may be manifested in today’s organizations.
