In recent years, there has been a proliferation of study on mindfulness across a variety of academic subfields. However, there hasn't been a lot of actual study done on the topic of mindfulness in the workplace. In the study that is being described here, we address this omission by investigating workplace mindfulness, or the degree to which people are aware in their respective work environments. We hypothesise that, in a dynamic work environment, workplace mindfulness is positively related to job performance and negatively related to turnover intention, and that these relationships account for variance that is above and beyond the effects of constructs that occupy a similar conceptual space, specifically the constituent dimensions of work engagement. After putting these claims to the test in the dynamic setting of the service industry, we come to the conclusion that there is a positive relationship between workplace mindfulness and job performance. This conclusion holds true even after taking into account the three different dimensions of work engagement. We also find support for a negative association between mindfulness in the workplace and intention to leave a job, although this relationship loses significance when we account for the different aspects of work engagement. We discuss the theoretical and practical consequences of these findings and highlight a number of different paths for conducting research on mindfulness in the workplace. There are a number of different ways for conducting research on mindfulness in the workplace.
