Аннотация

This study investigates the interplay between mindfulness, emotional intelligence (EI), and work engagement, focusing on the mediating role of EI. Utilizing Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory as a theoretical framework, the research explores how mindfulness enhances employee engagement by fostering emotional regulation, resilience, and attentional stability. Conducted within the Saudi Arabian context, the study employs a cross-sectional survey of 329 employees from diverse sectors, offering culturally specific insights into these relationships. The findings reveal that mindfulness positively influences both EI and work engagement, while EI significantly mediates this relationship, amplifying the positive effects of mindfulness on engagement. These results underscore the critical role of mindfulness and EI in fostering a resilient and motivated workforce. Practical implications suggest that organizations can enhance employee well-being and productivity by integrating mindfulness and EI training into workplace development programs. This study contributes to existing literature by extending the application of COR Theory and addressing the contextual nuances of Saudi Arabia, offering actionable insights for improving employee engagement in diverse organizational settings.
