Background: Today, stress and burnout are common problems among employees working in service industries; however, they have serious consequences for organizations and can lead to lower productivity. Thus, it is important to identify the factors reducing occupational stress and burnout.

Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) in SPSS version 23 and AMOS 23 software programs. Results: SEM confirmed the proposed model's fitness. The results indicated the direct and indirect effects of mindfulness on adaptive performance and burnout through resiliency. Conclusions: According to the results, one of the strategies for alleviating burnout and improving employees' health and adaptation to workplace is the training of mindfulness skills with the aim of enhancing resilience skills against the stressful and challenging workplace conditions.
