Abstract

This study examines the, mediating and moderating effects of psychological resilience on the relationship between employee mindfulness and job-related outcomes such as work engagement and psychological distress. By employing the tenets of the Job Demands-Resources theory, a model was tested by collecting data from 164 nurses in North Cyprus. The results indicate that mindfulness significantly increased engagement, and resilience positively mediated this relationship. Furthermore, results revealed that mindfulness is negatively and significantly related to psychological distress and that resilience further alleviates this negative effect as a moderator. Practical implications of conducting training programs that boost resilience are discussed.
