A field research on the organizational results of mindfulness

The aim of this study is to determine whether mindfulness is effective on employees' destructive deviant behavior tendencies and job satisfaction levels. In addition, it was also investigated whether the organizational policy perceptions of the employees have a moderating role in the relationship between mindfulness and destructive deviant behaviors, and in the relationship between mindfulness and job satisfaction. Finally, whether mindfulness differs in terms of gender and age was also tested in the current study. The model developed within the scope of the study was tested with the data collected from public employees. The research data was collected by questionnaire method. Simple linear regression analysis was used to test the direct effects between the variables in the model of the study, and process macro analysis was applied to test the regulatory effects. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that mindfulness has a negative effect on organizational deviance behavior. It was concluded that mindfulness also has a negative effect on the tendency to exhibit deviant behavior among individuals, which is one of the dimensions of organizational deviation. In addition, it has been determined that mindfulness has a positive effect on job satisfaction. In the analyzes made on the regulatory role of organizational policy perception, it was concluded that while organizational policy perception did not have a moderator role in the relationship between mindfulness and organizational deviance, it was concluded that organizational policy perception played a moderator role in the relationship between mindfulness and job satisfaction. Finally, it has been determined that gender and age variables are not a distinguishing factor in terms of mindfulness.
