MINDFULNESS AND ITS IMPACT ON JOB PERFORMANCE AND JOB SATISFACTION AMONG PRIVATE SECTOR EMPLOYEES

Abstract

The present study examined the impact of mindfulness on job performance and job satisfaction among employees. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 300 private-sector employees through purposive sampling. Standardized measures, including the Mindfulness/Mindlessness Scale, the Job Satisfaction Scale, and the Job Performance Scale were administered. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and regression analyses were conducted using SPSS 23. Results indicated a significant positive relationship between mindfulness and job satisfaction, as well as between mindfulness and job performance. Regression analysis further revealed that mindfulness positively predicted job performance, whereas job satisfaction was a negative predictor. These findings suggest that mindfulness enhances both employees’ subjective well-being and workplace performance, though the unexpected negative association between satisfaction and performance highlights the complexity of workplace dynamics. The study contributes to the growing body of literature emphasizing the role of mindfulness as a psychological resource in organizational settings. Implications for workplace interventions and directions for future research are also discussed.
