“…The Studies have shown that mindfulness as a dynamic and active cognitive structure is able to affect people's response in stressful and emotional situation. By using informed attention, mind awareness makes people ready to respond to dangerous situations (Valentine, 2010). It is worth mentioning that Ndubisi (2012) www.ccsenet.org/gjhs Global Journal of Health Science Vol.…”

The aim of this study was to compare the skills of mindfulness, metacognitive beliefs and perceived stress in hypertension patients and control group. The study was a causal-comparative one. The population included all patients with high blood pressure who were admitted in Isfahan Cardiovascular Research Institute in 2014, 90 of which were selected by purposive sampling. Research instruments include: Kentucky's mindfulness skills (Baer, Smith, & Allen, 2004), metacognitive beliefs questionnaire (Welles, 1997) and questionnaire perceived stress (Cohen & Kamarck, 1983). Of all the questionnaires returned, 80 were fully completed and therefore analyzed. Data were analyzed using a t-test and multivariate analysis of variance. Results showed that there is a difference between mindfulness skills and beliefs of people with hypertension and control group. Moreover, the results showed that there isn't any meaningful difference between the perceived stress in patients with hypertension and control group. It can be said that mindfulness skills, metacognitive beliefs and perceived stress can help us to understand the psychological issues of patients with high blood pressure better.

“…A more recent study by Shapiro et al (2012) also found no correlation between moral reasoning and mindfulness instruction one month after completion of the training and only a minor correlation 2 months after. Interestingly, Valentine et al (2010) established that having a shared corporate code of ethics and ethical values were positively related to mindfulness suggesting an ethical organisational culture enhances an individual's capacity to be mindful but without a reciprocal effect.…”

“…Originally conceived as having a presence of mind or an attentiveness to the present (Abe, 1993), in more recent times both the psychology and organisational literature have been combined to define it as "a state of mind or mode of practice that permits the questioning of expectations, knowledge and adequacy of routines in complex and not fully predictable social, technological, and physical settings" (Jordan et al, 2009, p. 466). As such, mindfulness is a useful attribute that enables people to better respond to their environment (Valentine et al, 2010). Moreover, similar to spirituality, everyone has the capacity for mindfulness (Ruedy & Schweitzer, 2010).…”

“…Unlike mindfulness however, transcendence can also be about rising above the self. As opposed to an inward focus alone (Valentine et al, 2010), transcendence is about perceiving, choosing and acting in ways that go beyond the conditions imposed by hereditary or environment (Delgado, 2005;Frankl, 2000). The data extracts in support of this theme are in Table 5.…”

“…While the literature posits that by themselves both constructs enhance ethical praxis and conduct within organisations (R.A. Giacalone & Jurkiewicz, 2003a;Ruedy & Schweitzer, 2010;Shapiro, Jazaieri, & Goldin, 2012;Spohn, 1997;Valentine, Godkin, & Varca, 2010;L. Zsolnai, 2010), there has been little investigation of how spirituality relates to mindfulness and how combined they might relate to ethical behaviour in organisational contexts (Boyce & Sawang, 2014).…”

The influence of managers’ spiritual mindfulness on ethical behaviour in organisations

Recently, there have been several corporate scandals both in New Zealand and overseas involving unethical management behaviour that caused significant harm to a range of stakeholders. The literature on spirituality and mindfulness posits that each could enhance ethical praxis and management conduct if they were encouraged in organisations. To date, minimal work has been completed bringing these related constructs together and demonstrating how and why they might influence ethical decision-making and behaviour positively. This paper attempts such a combination. As part of a larger study, 14 managers from a variety of organisations were interviewed to determine how their spirituality influenced their ethical behaviour in the workplace. Using stories of real-life critical incidents and thematic analysis, this research found that managers bring a spiritual consciousness that is mindful of themselves, others and their context to their decisions and actions in complex and challenging ethical situations. Moreover, while these managers' spiritual mindfulness was cognisant of the immediate present, they also transcend their environments in ways that often led to enhanced moral praxis and conduct. Conversely, situations in which they failed to be spiritually mindful resulted in feelings of frustration, anxiety and loss. Based on these findings, a model of how spirituality and mindfulness might relate to produce ethical behaviour in organisations is provided. The paper concludes by offering suggestions for future research.

Quality‐Related HR Practices, Organizational Ethics, and Positive Work Attitudes: Implications for HRD

Existing research suggests that human resource (HR) practices and corporate ethics, both of which are orchestrated through human resource development (HRD), enhance employees' work attitudes. Consequently, this study examined the degree to which employees' perception of organizational ethics mediates the relationship between their perceptions of quality‐related HR practices and work attitudes. Results obtained from structural equation modeling of data acquired from 187 professionals in a financial services firm showed full mediation. Stronger perceptions of quality‐related HR practices were associated with increased perceptions of organizational ethics, and stronger perceptions of organizational ethics were associated with more positive work attitudes. The results suggest that quality‐based HR practices can be used in companies to advance an ethical context, ultimately yielding more favorable work attitudes.
