Abstract
Management literature is increasingly
preoccupied with the studies
on psychological stances and
related emotional concepts. Studies
on issues such as mindfulness
have therefore recently gained
momentum. Previous studies in
mindfulness suggested that
through increased mindfulness,
employees in organizations exhibit
better job outcomes. In the
last few decades, considerable
research has focused on the effects
of mindfulness on job performance
in different parts of the
world. Nonetheless, there is a gap
considering Indian environment.
This study investigates the interactive
effects of mindfulness and
happiness in workplace on a
sample of 101 employees in North
India. Results suggest a partial
interaction effect of mindfulness
and happiness on employee job
satisfaction. Mindfulness and
happiness were seen as significant
predictors of employee satisfaction
in the Indian context.
