By: D. F. Dissanayake and S. Rajapaksha
Abstract
In the contemporary and ever-changing business landscape, organisations are consistently faced with novel issues. Therefore, the implementation of efficient tactical strategies is crucial for sustaining elevated levels of productivity and performance. Nevertheless, individuals' capacity to negotiate these difficulties differs depending on their unique traits. The importance of emotional intelligence and Mindfulness in influencing individuals' responses to organisational difficulties cannot be overstated. Individuals exhibiting these attributes possess the capacity to manage their emotions, maintain concentration, and keep composed in stressful situations, therefore improving their capacity to navigate challenging circumstances and make educated judgments, even in demanding contexts. The concept of Mindfulness emerged from Buddhist doctrines and entails the practice of sustaining concentrated awareness on the current moment without any form of evaluation. The practice of Mindfulness involves being open to novel experiences, relinquishing attachment to past events, and methodically observing both internal and external stimuli. Further research is needed to explore the consequences of emotional intelligence and Mindfulness, specifically in the context of business organisations. The objective of this conceptual review paper is to examine the existing knowledge in these fields and offer suggestions for future research. The analysis in this work was conducted using the PRISMA approach and keyword co-occurrence analysis. To guarantee the legitimacy of the study, only English-language journal articles have been chosen from the Scopus database. Substantial potential exists for further investigation into emotional intelligence (EI) and Mindfulness, namely in relation to enhancing personal well-being and performance across diverse contexts. By integrating these psychological dimensions into organisational development strategies, firms may be better equipped to cultivate resilient, empathetic, and high-performing work environments. This paper aims to bridge theoretical perspectives with practical implications to support sustainable organisational growth.
