  • Beschreibung: The main objective of the study is to empirically explain the relationship between the construct mindfulness (MDF) and the job performance (JP) of employees. This study also examines the mediating effect of basic need satisfaction at work (BNS-W), between the MDF and JP of employees. The sample comprises responses from 327 employees working in IT companies based in India. Correlation and hierarchical regression analysis were employed to analyze the proposed measurement model. The results show a significant relationship among the study variables. BNS which is one of the concepts of self-determination theory (SDT), found partially mediated the relationship between MDF and JP of the employees. Examining the relationship between MDF and basic psychological need satisfaction on the JP has significant implications for organizations. The proposed study framework can be utilized by the researchers and human resource practitioner to reframe the organizational practices. First, the general understanding of the relationship between MDF and JP is limited in literature. Second, the study extends the previous research by investigating the mediating effect of BNS, a concept within SDT, on the relationship between MDF and JP.
