Dispositional Mindfulness as a Unique Predictor of Work-Family Conflict

  • Description:
    Objective: Can being more mindful potentially help reduce work-family conflict? Past research has shown that both situational and dispositional variables predict work-family conflict. This study is the first to investigate the relationship between work-family conflict and mindfulness, the act of being aware and in the present moment. Methods: Correlational research (survey) Results: Findings show a negative correlation between mindfulness and both directions of work-family conflict. Additionally, mindfulness was found to explain unique variance in work-family conflict beyond that explained by number of children, work hours, and personality. Conclusion: This study introduces mindfulness as a predictor of work-family conflict. Future research involving mindfulness training for work-family conflict is discussed.
