vocational personalities and mindfulness
نویسنده
چکیده
In the past few decades, many studies have been conducted on the positive effects of mindfulness, a state of openness to novelty in which an individual actively constructs categories and distinctions. The authors tested the applicability of Langer’s (1989a) mindfulness theory to Holland’s (1997) vocational personalities. Data from 156 Israeli full-time employees were collected. The results link different types of vocational personalities to a mindful mind-set.
