BUS603: Managing People

The aim of the present study was to enhance the understanding of whether and how leaders' dispositional mindfulness may translate into leader behaviors that relate to follower's perceptions and satisfaction with their leaders. We hypothesized that leaders' mindfulness would be positively linked to specific communication behaviors, which we labeled "mindfulness in communication". In turn, perceived mindfulness in communication was hypothesized to mediate the relationship between leaders' dispositional mindfulness and followers' satisfaction regarding the communication with the leader and the leader in general. The results of our empirical study supported our hypotheses.
