摘要

This study analyses the main topics in the literature on the use of mindfulness in an organisational or entrepreneurial business context and presents an agenda for future research. To achieve this goal, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using the Web of Science (WoS). The results of an in-depth analysis revealed two clusters representing the main research topics: (1) Nature and contributions of mindfulness and (2) Mindfulness and the workplace, which are discussed in detail below. The main results suggest that there are little explored research angles: tertiary sector or service provision; work carried out in European countries; comparison between sectors of activity, intercontinental or international; mindfulness and entrepreneurship in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or family businesses; the influence of mindfulness in the individual, collective and social context associated with resilience, leadership, well-being, engagement, productivity, ethics and sustainability. This study also provides insights for academia, professionals and policy-makers that can help SMEs to engage in mindfulness knowledge and practices, enabling the development of wellbeing promotion strategies with impacts at the individual, collective or societal level, with a focus on social competences, contributing to the emergence of “wellbeing communities or societies” and sustainability.
