Mindfulness, defined in terms of greater attention and awareness concerning present experience, seems to have a number of psychological benefits, but very little of this research has focused on possible benefits within the workplace. Even so, mindfulness appears to buffer against stress and negative affect, which often predispose employees to deviant behaviors. Conversely, mindful employees may be more engaged with their jobs, which could support organizational citizenship. Two studies (total = 418) pursued these ideas. In Study 1, part-time employees who were higher in dispositional mindfulness were less prone to job negative affect, which in turn predicted lower levels of workplace deviance. In Study 2, more mindful full-time employees were more engaged, and less stressed, and these variables mediated a portion of the relationship between mindfulness and organizational citizenship. Collectively, the two studies link mindfulness to both traditional forms of voluntary work behavior while highlighting mediational pathways.
正念被定义为对当下体验有更强的关注和觉察，它似乎有诸多心理益处，但这类研究很少聚焦于工作场所可能存在的益处。即便如此，正念似乎能缓冲压力和负面影响，而压力和负面影响往往会使员工易于出现越轨行为。相反，正念的员工可能对工作更投入，这有助于促进组织公民行为。两项研究（共418名参与者）探讨了这些观点。在研究1中，性格正念水平较高的兼职员工较少出现工作负面情绪，而负面情绪又进而预示着较低水平的工作场所越轨行为。在研究2中，正念水平较高的全职员工工作更投入，压力更小，并且这些变量在正念与组织公民行为之间的关系中起到了部分中介作用。总体而言，这两项研究将正念与传统形式的自愿工作行为联系起来，同时突出了中介路径。
