Abstract

This study takes employees of enterprises and institutions as the research sample, exploring the mechanism and boundary condition of mindfulness on work engagement with questionnaire survey. Specifically, our study focuses on the direct influence of mindfulness on employees’ work engagement, the mediating effect of ego-depletion in the influence of mindfulness on employees’ work engagement and the moderating effect of depletion sensitivity in the influence of ego-depletion on work engagement. The final results confirm that: a) Mindfulness has positive impact on work engagement; b) Ego-depletion mediates the influence of mindfulness on work engagement; c) Depletion sensitivity moderates the influence of ego-depletion on work engagement, which means the higher level of depletion sensitivity is associated with the stronger negative impact of ego-depletion on work engagement.
