Structural Equation Modeling showed that role clarity significantly predicts mindfulness, even after accounting for prior mindfulness practice. By extending the Environmental Model of Mindfulness, this paper highlights the role of I/O psychology in advancing mindfulness research, with a focus on how organizational design fosters presentmoment awareness. The findings provide practical insights for organizations seeking to enhance mindfulness and well-being through improved role clarity.
