As a doctoral scholar at XLRI, one of India’s leading business schools (leading to degree FPM), I started my research journey. During the period, I worked full time and as a visiting faculty too.
During my coursework, I explored “Workplace Spirituality” and “Organizational Culture.” Later stage worked on “Calling and Karma Yoga” during a seminar paper. First research work under the faculty guidance.
In the thesis, I focused on “Calling and its interplay with work.”
In the whole journey, I have become more curious about the “Calling” and “Karma” and how it shapes us (human beings)? And does it deliver the “self-transcendence” that it promises? And How? On this broad canvas, more specific variables or concepts that I explored or getting curious are:
1. Calling and Careers (specifically Career Change)
2. Future Work Self.
3. Karma Yoga
4. Job Crafting
5. Leisure Crafting
6. Meaning
7. Stress
8. Peak performance
9. Self-actualization
Within the subject matter of “Organizational Behavior,” my interests are deepening and expanding more in the areas of “Positive Psychology” and “Indian Psychology”.
