Management of organization is the management of its staff in real terms because the work is executed by them and it ultimately runs organization. Every employee has its own customs to solve the problems of life. Literature studies not only enhance the knowledge, but also provide solutions to the life issues. Reading motivational and inspirational stories fills us with a new insight. For this study, employees have been asked that an interesting proverb or saying written on notices can ever encourage them. They admit that fictional writings can be used a new technique to get clarifications of their glitches. The aim of this study is to develop new criteria of literature and management, so that we get to know our culture, traditions and history. The modern management studies can be enriched with literature studies and organization can have better people with more alertness and improved work efficiency.
