Dr.Parvathi Wajindram's research centers on Organizational Behavior and Leadership Studies, with a focus on how power, authority, and influence operate in institutions and communities within plural societies. She examine how leadership styles, organizational hierarchies, and everyday practices shape inclusion, voice, and agency, particularly for minorities and marginalized groups at both the national and global levels. Building on established frameworks in organizational behavior and leadership, she extend their application beyond corporate contexts to universities, NGOs, religious organizations, and state-linked institutions. Alongside this primary focus, Dr.Parvathi Wajindram incorporate authoritarianism as a complementary lens, analyzing how authoritarian tendencies manifest in organizational leadership, cultural practices, and digital spaces. Methodologically, her work combines quantitative surveys and network analysis from OB and leadership studies with qualitative approaches such as critical discourse analysis, ethnography, and narrative inquiry. She further integrate feminist and participatory methods, ensuring that minority voices and agency remain central. This multi-method portfolioallows Dr.Parvathi Wajindram to link micro-level experiences with macro-level organizational and societal patterns, generating insights that are both theoretically robust and socially relevant. Her scholarship ultimately contributes to understanding how institutions and individuals navigate power, negotiate authority, and build resilience in complex, plural societies.
