Mindful Emotion Regulation in Organizational Contexts

This study investigates the mechanisms by which mindfulness training influences positive affect, job performance, and satisfaction in organizational settings. Employing a two-period crossover design, participants receive an 8-week Mindfulness for Life (MBCT-L) intervention. Guided by Mindfulness-to-Meaning theory, the investigator propose that increases in mindfulness enhance positive affect through improved decentering and positive reframing. In line with the Broaden-and-Build theory, it is hypothesized that heightened positive affect leads to better in-role job performance and higher job satisfaction by increasing psychological capital. The primary objective is to elucidate these mediational pathways, thereby advancing our understanding of how mindfulness interventions can foster improve emotion regulation and organizational functioning.
