Abstract(s)
This research study examines the effects and benefits of
Mindfulness, a practice characterized by focused,
nonjudgmental awareness of the present moment, in
Design Management performance, specifically how it
helps to overcome the downsides of this role. To address
this question, this research study presents an analysis of
19 semi-structured interviews, and 55 structured
questionnaires to professionals in the field.
Analysis of the interviews suggest that Design Managers
who practice mindfulness have a better approach to
handle the downsides of their role, after experiencing
diminished automaticity and increased self-awareness,
decreased stress, anxiety and negative mood, enhanced
attention and positive attitude, and ultimately attained
health. Therefore, they enhance their performance in the
characteristics and responsibilities in the context of
Design Management.
Additionally, this study highlights the importance of
considering implementing the practice of mindfulness
within the work environment given the results obtained,
and lastly, proposes an hypothesis in order to test the
key findings in future research.
