Abstract in brief

  • The research explores how mindfulness, a state of attentive and nonjudgmental awareness, can help reduce emotional exhaustion and increase job satisfaction among employees, with surface acting (faking emotions at work) playing a mediating role.
  • The first study, a 5-day diary analysis with 219 employees, found that more mindful employees experienced less emotional exhaustion and greater job satisfaction, partly because they engaged less in surface acting.
  • The second study, an experiment with 64 participants, showed that those who underwent a mindfulness training program reported less emotional exhaustion and higher job satisfaction, with improvements linked to reduced surface acting, suggesting mindfulness training can have positive causal effects.
