THE EFFECT OF MINDFULNESS PRACTICES ON EMPLOYEE RESILIENCE IN HIGH-STRESS INDUSTRIES

In todays high-stress sectors, employee resilience is increasingly acknowledged as a vital component in company performance and individual well-being. This study looks into the influence of mindfulness techniques on employee resilience in such circumstances. Mindfulness, defined as a state of heightened awareness and presence, has been found to reduce stress and enhance psychological outcomes. This paper takes a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, to investigate the link between mindfulness practices and employee resilience.The quantitative component included a sample of 300 individuals from high-stress areas such as healthcare, banking, and technology. The participants were placed into two groups: control and intervention, with the latter undergoing an eight-week mindfulness training program. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used to assess resilience at baseline, immediately after intervention, and three months later. The qualitative component included in-depth interviews with 30 intervention group participants to acquire a better understanding of their mindfulness practice experiences and perceptions. The intervention group had significantly higher resilience ratings than the control group, and these benefits were sustained at the three-month follow-up. Key advantages of mindfulness, according to qualitative studies, include greater emotional control, attention, and coping techniques. This study highlights the importance of mindfulness techniques in promoting resilience in high-stress industries. Organizations may help their employees navigate the challenges of high-pressure situations by incorporating mindfulness into their well-being initiatives, resulting in greater performance and less burnout. Future studies should look at the long-term effects and efficacy of different mindfulness approaches in a variety of industry contexts.

在当今高压力行业领域，员工心理韧性（employee resilience）愈发被视作企业绩效与个人福祉的核心构成要素。本研究聚焦此类场景下正念训练对员工心理韧性的影响作用。正念（mindfulness）被定义为一种高度觉知与活在当下的状态，现有研究已证实其可缓解压力、改善心理状态。本研究采用混合研究方法，涵盖量化调查与质性访谈，以探究正念实践与员工心理韧性之间的关联。
量化研究部分的样本涵盖来自医疗、金融与科技等高压领域的300名受试者，受试者被分为两组：对照组与干预组，其中干预组需完成为期八周的正念训练课程。研究采用康纳-戴维森韧性量表（Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, CD-RISC），分别在基线、干预结束即刻以及干预后三个月三个时间点对受试者的心理韧性进行评估。质性研究部分则对30名干预组受试者开展深度访谈，以深入了解其正念实践的体验与认知。
结果显示，干预组的心理韧性评分显著高于对照组，且该改善效果在三个月的随访中得以维持。质性研究结果表明，正念训练的核心益处包括情绪调控能力提升、专注力增强以及应对策略的优化。本研究凸显了正念训练在提升高压力行业员工心理韧性方面的重要价值。企业可将正念融入员工福祉建设方案，帮助员工应对高压场景下的各类挑战，进而提升整体绩效、减少职业倦怠的发生。未来研究可进一步探索不同正念训练方案在多行业场景下的长期效应与实施效果。
