Resumen

Ninety per cent of the research on mindfulness has been developed in the last decade. In this context, it is important to carry out review papers that synthesize and integrate the knowledge generated, and to identify research gaps and areas in which it is necessary to continue advancing in the coming years. This is the aim of the present paper, although its scope is limited to mindfulness at work and in organizations. After explaining its origin and arrival in the workplace, we define mindfulness and its main characteristics, making a distinction between trait and state mindfulness. Next, we summarize the main research findings about mindfulness predictors and mindfulness outcomes, and finally, we suggest several areas for future research. In general terms, research findings suggest that mindfulness is a relevant factor in enhancing health and psychological well-being in the workplace.
