Mindfulness, or nonjudgmental awareness of and attention to present-moment experiences, has drawn growing interest among organizational scholars and practitioners. While research suggests mindfulness is largely beneficial for workers’ well-being, such as greater job satisfaction and lower stress, open questions concerning mindfulness remain. Aiming to advance theory and practice on mindfulness at work, the collection of empirical work in this symposium: (1) examines the role of mindfulness in work-family spillover; (2) explores work-related social functioning (e.g., helping behavior, social loafing, social undermining) related to mindfulness; and (3) identifies the nature and theoretical effect of facets of mindfulness (e.g., present awareness, non-reactivity). The set of papers deploy rigorous methods, such as experiments, experience sampling designs, and longitudinal designs.
