Mindfulness, the psychological quality of enhanced and accepting present-moment attention often cultivated via meditation, has been increasingly linked to effective individual self-regulation in organizational contexts. In particular, it may help avert ego depletion, a temporary inability to resist maladaptive impulses that undermine goal realization. Ego depletion may be particularly likely and harmful in adverse organizational environments that demand and drain self-control resources. To explore whether mindfulness practices may act as a resource helping to avert ego depletion, I conducted two studies of individuals facing workplace adversity. An interview study of 26 health system workers receiving mindfulness training revealed that their routine and extraordinary challenges, including Hurricane Sandy recovery, provoked widespread dysregulation. Within this environment, mindfulness provided a portfolio of psychological resources that helped avert ego depletion. A laboratory study of 117 college students demonstrated that mindfulness diminished ego depletion while facing the workplace challenge of negative performance feedback. Randomly assigning brief mindfulness practice prior to receiving negative feedback averted self-esteem loss and associated ego depletion. Jointly, these studies provide evidence that mindfulness confers psychological resources that mitigate ego depletion and foster self-control while facing workplace adversity. These findings have implications for understanding of self-regulation, resilience, and compassion within organizations.
