Abstract

The practice of mindfulness has received increasing attention due to accumulated evidence about its beneficial impact on employees’ well-being and interpersonal effectiveness. Drawing from 15 semi-structured interviews, this study explores the mindfulness phenomena associated with practicing the mental state of “being while doing”. Our findings indicate the value of regular meditation as a platform that supports and sustains one’s practice of mindfulness in the workplace, and illustrates the role of mindfulness as an effective approach for handling stressful social encounters, especially conflict situations.
