| Abstrakt: | Abstract: Objectives. The application of mindfulness at work has experienced growing demand in recent years. This progress also brings new challenges for the field, such as the necessity to respect the dynamic environment of contemporary organizations and moving mindfulness practice closer to the social interactions. The authors created Relational Mindfulness Training (RMT), an 8-week mindfulness-based intervention, in order to address the lack of evidence in the field of relational mindfulness. Sample and setting. The study has examined the effects of RMT intervention on the sample of 66 students. The first measurement occurred one week prior to the start of intervention (T1). The second measurement occurred one week after the end of intervention (T2). Hypotheses. It was hypothesized that the participation in RMT would have positive significant effects on mindfulness, self-compassion, authentic leadership and empathic accuracy. Statistical analysis. The analysis of variance was used to access the differences between the experimental and control group between T1 and T2 and the paired sample t-test was used to assess the effects within both groups between T1 and T2. Results. The findings suggest that training in relational mindfulness may enhance the curriculum of management education. RMT showed a significant positive effect on mindfulness, selfcompassion and authentic leadership. This study is, according to the authors knowledge, the first one that validates the effects of a relationalbased mindfulness program in management education and the first one to validate the effects of MBI in the Czech Republic. Study limitation. Most variables in the study were assessed by self-report questionnaires, however most common questionnaires in the field were used. The study was also not fully blinded and thus it might have been possibly biased by placebo or experimenter effect. |
