How does mindfulness training boost and sustain self-compassion and increase the likelihood of entrepreneurial persistence?A mediating and moderating model
In order to investigate the influence and influence mechanism of mindfulness training under the longitudinal frame,we used a randomized controlled field experiment and a longitudinal pre-/post-test de-sign with four measurement waves in 225 entrepreneurs.The scales included Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire,Self-Compassion Scale and Entrepreneurial Persistence Scale.The results were as follows:(1)The mindfulness training had short-and long-term positive influences on the entrepreneurial persistence of entrepreneurs.(2)Self-compassion played a mediating role in the relationship between mindfulness training and entrepreneurial persistence.(3)Positive reappraisal mediated and moderated the relationship between mindfulness training and self-compassion.The results showed that mindfulness training predicted high entrepreneurial persistence by improving positive reappraisal and boosting and sustaining self-compas-sion.
