Mindfulness and Leadership

This research used surveys with leaders and followers to examine how mindfulness (which they define) impacts interactions between leaders and followers.

Results

Descriptive Statistics

Correlations, means, and standard deviations of all variables are shown in Table 3 [calculated in R using psych]. Neither tenure with the leader nor perceived interaction frequency was related to our main variables. In turn, leaders' dispositional mindfulness was positively correlated with followers' perceptions of leaders' mindfulness in communication as well as with the two satisfaction ratings. Also, the correlations between followers' perceptions of leaders' mindfulness in communication and the two satisfaction measures were in the expected direction.
