“…Consistent with findings reported in previous psychology studies, this correlation suggests that SU has a positive relation with work engagement [ 10 , 11 , 16 , 18 , 20 , 21 ]. This finding is also consistent with SU theories [ 13 , 14 , 15 ] positing that having the opportunity to use one’s strengths makes one feel effective, energized, and motivated, and these positive mental states as resources help workers to promote both engagement and proactive behavior in the work setting.…”

“…Consequently, research concerning SU has expanded greatly in recent years. Previous research has shown that SU contributes positively to work engagement in different populations [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]; yet, little is known about how this relationship pertains to teachers. In addition, the underlying mechanisms that mediate the relationship between SU and work engagement are still largely unknown.…”

“…Previous studies have indicated that SU correlates positively with the work engagement of civil engineers, website visitors, mining organization employees, Norwegian naval cadets, Dutch employees, and nurses worldwide [ 10 , 11 , 16 , 18 , 20 , 21 ]. These earlier findings suggest that SU is an important predictor of work engagement.…”

“…In the positive psychology literature, SU has been characterized as a type of positive activity [ 18 ]. Studies have indicated that SU correlates positively with work engagement [ 10 , 11 , 16 , 18 , 20 , 21 ], but few studies have directly explored the underlying mechanism. Therefore, we attempted to uncover the association from the perspective of basic psychological needs satisfaction (BPNS).…”

Work engagement is a core indicator that reflects the quality of teachers’ occupational lives and the development of students, but few studies have explored the connection between strengths use and work engagement of teachers and the mechanisms underlying this relationship. This paper aimed to investigate how the relation of strengths use with work engagement is affected by a teacher’s satisfaction of basic psychological needs. For this purpose, 648 teachers in China completed questionnaires. The results revealed that strengths use exhibited a positive correlation with work engagement and needs satisfaction. Furthermore, autonomy, competence, and relatedness satisfaction mediated the effect of strengths use on work engagement for teachers. The results suggest that autonomy, competence, and relatedness satisfaction serve as factors that mediate the effect of strengths use on work engagement. The significance and limitations of the study are discussed.

“…Similarly, recently conducted online mindfulness interventions also improved work engagement, enhanced optimism, and reduced over-commitment [126]. Another study suggested the positive facilitation influence of mindfulness on psychological attributes to identify employees' strengths, enabling them to use those strengths actively to enhance their work engagement [127]. Conversely, the link between leader mindfulness and their cynicism was negatively mediated by their psychological capital [83].…”

Mindfulness has rapidly become a significant subject area in many disciplines. Most of the work on mindfulness has focused on the perspective of health and healthcare professionals, but relatively less research is focused on the organizational outcomes at the workplace. This review presents a theoretical and practical trajectory of mindfulness by sequential integration of recent fragmented scholarly work on mindfulness at the workplace. The review showcases that most contemporary practical challenges in organizations, such as anxiety, stress, depression, creativity, motivation, leadership, relationships, teamwork, burnout, engagement, performance, well-being, and physical and psychological health, could be addressed successfully with the budding concept of mindfulness. The causative processes due to higher mindfulness that generate positive cognitive, emotional, physiological, and behavioral outcomes include focused attention, present moment awareness, non-judgmental acceptance, self-regulatory functions, lower mind wandering, lower habit automaticity, and self-determination. Employee mindfulness could be developed through various mindfulness interventions in order to improve different organizational requirements, such as psychological capital, emotional intelligence, prosocial behavior, in-role and extra-role performance, financial and economic performance, green performance, and well-being. Accordingly, this review would be beneficial to inspire academia and practitioners on the transformative potential of mindfulness in organizations for higher performance, well-being, and sustainability. Future research opportunities and directions to be addressed are also discussed.
