About

Poorani Sundarrajan is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of organizational behavior, human resource management, and industrial dynamics. Her research investigates how transformative external forces — most notably the COVID-19 pandemic — reshape workplace practices, employee satisfaction, and workforce retention strategies within manufacturing and industrial contexts. Her notable study, "Pandemic-Induced Work Practices Impacting Job Satisfaction and Retention: Automobile Industry Perspective" (2023), offers a focused examination of how plant and office environments across Chennai, India adapted to accelerated business and operational changes during and after the pandemic. By drawing on diverse scholarly literature, Sundarrajan contextualizes these shifts within broader global trends, providing industry-specific insights that are particularly valuable for HR professionals and organizational leaders navigating post-pandemic transitions. Her work underscores the critical relationship between evolving work models and employee engagement within the automobile sector — one of India's most economically significant industries. Though early in her citation trajectory, her research addresses highly relevant and timely questions that resonate with academics and practitioners alike, positioning her as a promising contributor to the fields of workforce management and organizational studies.
