Abstract
Aim: Mindfulness means focusing on the moment with attention and a positive attitude. It is a Buddhist concept that was secularized by Kabat-Zinn (2005) and brought to the world of science, and its effects in different areas such as psychology, business administration, health sciences, guidance, and psychological counseling were studied. Numerous studies have found that mindfulness has positive effects on an individual’s attitudes and behaviors. A less studied concept regarding the influence of mindfulness is conflict management styles. In this research, the mediating role of emotional intelligence on the relationship between trait mindfulness and cooperative conflict management styles was determined.Method: Data were collected from 193 white-collar personnel who are employed in the public and private sectors using the convenience sampling method.Findings: Trait mindfulness was related to integrating and compromising conflict management styles. The mediation analysis was conducted with SPSSS Process Macro and it was found that emotional intelligence didn’t act as a mediator.Results: The integrating and compromising styles predict trait mindfulness. The theoretical contributions of the research were discussed and suggestions were given to the practitioners.
