Abstract
In recent years, economic stress has become an important topic for organisational scholars and managers due to an increase in global competition, fear of COVID-19 pandemic, and technological advancements. While a few recent studies have found a significant relationship between economic stress and mindfulness, research on this topic is still limited and dispersed across various disciplines. This article seeks to consolidate and enhance knowledge on mindfulness (as both individual trait and intervention) and economic stress in terms of job insecurity, financial hardship, unemployment, and underemployment. Through an extensive literature search, 11 empirical studies focusing on mindfulness and economic stress in workplace context were identified. The article then develops an integrated framework highlighting the antecedents and outcome concerning mindfulness and economic stress as well as the mediators and moderators of these relationships. Drawing from the framework, the review article presents a research agenda to guide the future research in the domain of mindfulness and economic stress at work.
