Resumen

El 90% de los estudios sobre mindfulness se ha realizado en la última década. En este contexto es relevante la realización de trabajos de revisión, que sinteticen e integren los conocimientos que va generando la investigación, y que identifiquen áreas en las que es necesario seguir avanzando en los próximos años. Precisamente, ese es el objetivo de este artículo, aunque circunscrito al ámbito del trabajo y de las organizaciones. Tras explicar su origen y llegada al mundo del trabajo, se define el mindfulness y sus principales características, y se distingue entre mindfulness rasgo y estado. A continuación, se sintetizan los principales resultados de la investigación sobre antecedentes y resultados del mindfulness, y se finaliza sugiriendo futuras líneas de investigación. En términos generales, los resultados de la investigación sugieren que el mindfulness es un factor relevante para potenciar la salud y el bienestar psicológico en el lugar de trabajo.
