PhD in Psychology from Department of Psychology, University of Delhi

Dr. Swati Tripathi is an academician with considerable experience in teaching and research. She is also actively involved with the industry as an external consultant specifically in the area of test development. She has obtained her PhD in Psychology from Department of Psychology, University of Delhi and has a master’s degree in Psychology with specialization in Organizational Behavior from the Department of Psychology, University of Delhi as well. As part of her doctoral thesis, she examined the role of organizational climate and organizational politics in achieving organizational effectiveness. Due to her training in the field of Psychology, her approach to organizational behaviour is employee-centric, focusing on idiosyncrasies and peculiarities of one’s organizational existence. Her research interest lies in micro-organizational approach to understanding organization-employee relationships with special focus on personal values, political motivations, political behaviours and their impact on the bigger picture. She has published articles in international journals including International Journal of Organizational Analysis, Evidence-based HRM and Technology in Society. Apart from these projects, she has also delivered book chapters and several international conference presentations in the recent years. In the past, she has taught at undergraduate level at University of Delhi as an assistant professor for several years. She has also worked as a research fellow with IIT Delhi and had a brief stint in the industry as a consultant psychometrician. Of all the areas, she enjoys teaching and research the most, albeit not always in the same order. Her teaching philosophy focuses heavily on perennialism and incremental improvement which she has realized is also her life philosophy. She believes that individual differences in learning must be respected, and the learning curve of students must depict their depth of cognition, analytical bend and imaginative powers. All in all, her aim is to make her classes an open-minded, discussion-driven, high-expectations laden space that students feel welcomed into.
