A literature review on mindfulness at work places: Conceptualization, measurement, and outcomes

Abstract

Although there are remarkable researches from different fields, little research has focused on how mindfulness relates to work-related outcomes. Since it is a new concept in an organizational context, there is a need for more studies to clarify the conceptualization and measurement of mindfulness and enhance the understanding of its relationships with related work-outcomes. This present study provides a detailed review of published studies that have defined and measure mindfulness in the work context and examined the relationship between mindfulness and possible work-related outcomes such as performance and wellbeing. As well as work-related outcomes, mediator and moderator variables were taken into consideration to enhance understanding of how mindfulness affects each outcome.
