Puducherry-based psychologist will work with Wilhelm-Wundt-Institut für Psychologie, Universität Leipzig, for the three-year project
A city-based cross-cultural psychologist will be the Indian collaborator for a 54-country study, led by Germany’s Wilhelm-Wundt-Institut für Psychologie, Universität Leipzig, which will examine the culture of “organisational silence” or the constrained environment in organisations that hinder free and frank exchange of ideas.
Arun Tipandjan, secretary of the Pondicherry Psychology Association, will be working with specialists from different countries for the international project, led by Michael Knoll, professor of organisational psychology, chair of work and organisational psychology, Wilhelm-Wundt-Institut für Psychologie, Universität Leipzig.
“As a co-researcher, my role will be to contribute towards an understanding of the organisational silence phenomenon in the Indian context, something not explored before to such a scale. The results from this region will also be submitted to the pool of findings from across the world,” he said.
