Mindfulness directly boosts job performance, and emotional intelligence partly explains how. Among 263 office employees in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, mindfulness had a direct positive influence on performance. Emotional intelligence mediated this relationship, with an indirect effect larger than the direct effect. Psychological capital also mediated the link, but its indirect effect was smaller than the direct effect of mindfulness. The findings suggest that emotional intelligence is a key personal resource transmitting mindfulness's workplace benefits. Integrating emotional intelligence training into mindfulness programs could improve employee productivity.
