Abstract

Objectives This study aimed to examine whether mindfulness mediates the relationship between evaluative con-cern perfectionism and job burnout among working moms Methods For the research, an online survey was conducted with full-time working mothers with children under elementary school age, addressing evaluative concern perfectionism, job burnout, and mindfulness. A total of 250 responses were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 27.0. Results The analysis revealed significant correlations among the key variables. Additionally, mindfulness was found to partially mediate the relationship between evaluative concern perfectionism and job burnout among working moms. The individual trait of evaluative concern perfectionism corresponds to job demands leading to burnout, and in such cases, mindfulness appears to play a role in mitigating maladaptive influences as a job resource. Conclusions This implies that mindfulness, serving as a personality factor and a cognitive-behavioral intervention focus, plays a crucial role in addressing job burnout among working moms who exhibit perfectionistic tendencies. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study were discussed.
