The Double-edged Sword Effect of Workplace Mindfulness on Interpersonal Counterproductive Behavior
Many companies have introduced mindfulness training to improve employees'work effectiveness.However,recent researches have found that mindfulness may have a negative impact in the workplace.Based on trait activation theory,this study aims to examine a double effect of workplace mindfulness on employees'interpersonal counterproductive behavior.Multiple-wave survey data of 862 em-ployees collected from a high-tech company indicate that compassion for others mediates the relationship between workplace mindfulness and interpersonal counterproductive behavior and self-forgiveness mediates the relationship between workplace mindfulness and interper-sonal counterproductive behavior.Perceived team cooperation moderates workplace mindfulness'relationship with compassion for others and self-forgiveness as well as the above indirect effects.At a higher level of perceived team cooperation,the effect of workplace mindful-ness on compassion for others and its indirect effect is strengthened,while the effect of workplace mindfulness on self-forgiveness and its indirect effect is weakened.This study reveals the double-edged effect of workplace mindfulness on interpersonal counterproductive be-havior and inspires companies to dialectically treat mindfulness and its interpersonal influences.
