Does Mindfulness & Happiness Predict Job Satisfaction among Indian Employees?

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.
