Current workplace mindfulness research and interventions assume that teaching mindfulness will have beneficial effects for people and organizations. While research shows that mindfulness trainings may increase resilience of working adults, assuming that mindfulness will have independent effects on outcomes at different levels of an organization is not well grounded. We assert that mindfulness training would, however, be beneficial for organizations when tailored to that context and shaped by an understanding of organizational theory and practice. We also envisage mindfulness as a beneficial property of teams, organizations and the individuals who constitute them. To close the evidence gap we propose building multi-level models of mindfulness in organizations, broadening training programs, and developing a novel competency framework for teachers in this context.

“…9 Athletes who engage in mindfulness are more likely to detach from stressors, subsequently giving them a greater task focus. 10 Ensuring that the athlete is always at the forefront of any goal setting or negotiation strategies should minimize any conflict or dilemmas because the athlete is in a position of control over his or her treatment or training choices. 2 We have highlighted that the goal setting paradox still appears to be evident within the sporting environment.…”

“…Mindfulness is also associated with a number of positive outcomes that may facilitate goal pursuit, such as enhanced self-regulation (Brown & Ryan, 2003;Friese & Hofmann, 2016), improved focus (Hafenbrack & Vohs, 2018), and more adaptive coping strategies for managing stress (Weinstein, Brown, & Ryan, 2009). Some research, however, suggests that mindfulness may not be particularly helpful in the context of goal pursuit, and may in fact undermine individuals' amount of motivation towards goals (Hafenbrack & Vohs, 2018). Nonetheless, this finding contrasts with substantial evidence linking mindfulness to more adaptive motivational qualities (Donald et al, 2019).…”

Do mindful people set better goals? Investigating the relation between trait mindfulness, self-concordance, and goal progress

The present research examined the relation between trait mindfulness, self-concordance, and goal progress. We hypothesized that mindfulness would be positively associated with setting self-concordant goals (Studies 1-3), which would in turn predict greater goal progress (Studies 2 and 3). An internal mini meta-analysis (N = 1522) indicates that mindfulness had a small, positive association with self-concordant goal setting, r = .14, p < .001. Two longitudinal studies (Studies 2 and 3) found a small indirect effect of mindfulness on goal progress through self-concordance, although this was marginal in Study 2. In addition, Studies 2 and 3 found that mindfulness predicted increases in goal self-concordance over time. These findings provide support for the proposition that mindful people set "better" goals.
