Abstract

Mindfulness is a state of responsiveness in which people attend to happening events and involvements in a responsive and non-judgmental manner. This research focuses on how mindful and active an employee is at work and what satisfaction is derived from that work or job. Also, this research covers how the mindfulness of a person leads to job satisfaction, which ultimately results in the increased efficiency and productivity of the employee in achieving personal as well as organizational objectives. The study often highlights the relationship between non-judgmental awareness of one’s emotions, that is, mindfulness, and an increased level of happiness. Convenient sampling and a structured questionnaire were used to collect primary data. ANOVA and chi-square were used for testing hypotheses. The study revealed that mindfulness has a significant impact on happiness and job satisfaction, while happiness does not have an impact on job satisfaction.
