Malinen is an organisational and applied psychologist, and her research covers topics such as leadership development, and how to build resilience in workplaces and communities.[1] She has researched what factors in team meetings enable better decision-making, and the concept of 'paradoxical leadership' in public organisations, defined as 'the ability to balance competing structural and relational demands over time'.[5][6][7] Malinen is also interested in environmental psychology, including the use of values in environmental management and the connection between nature and wellbeing, and disaster management within organisations and communities.[1][7] Malinen has collaborated on research on cultural and ecological resilience with Professor Jacinta Ruru of the University of Otago and Dr Phil Lyver of Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research as part of the Biological Heritage National Science Challenge.[8]
