  • 소개/요약Organizations are turning towards behavioral interventions with the aim of improving employee well-being and job performance. Mindfulness training has been suggested as one type of intervention that can achieve these goals, but few active treatment randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been conducted. We conducted a RCT among employees of a midwestern marketing firm (n=60) that compared the effects of six-week mindfulness training program to a half-day mindfulness training seminar comparison program on employee well-being outcomes. While both groups improved comparably on job productivity, the six-week mindfulness training group had significantly greater improvement in attentional focus at work and decreases in work-life conflict, as well as a marginal improvement in job satisfaction compared to the half-day seminar comparison group. These findings suggest that while small doses of mindfulness training may be sufficient to foster increased perceptions of job productivity, longer-term mindfulness training programs are needed to improve focus, job satisfaction and a positive relationship to work.
