Abstract

Different from the previous studies that mainly focused on the mindfulness at the individual level, this research explores the effect of team mindfulness on employee moral efficacy, and considers the influence of the interaction between team bottom-line mentality (BLM) and team mindfulness on employees’ moral efficacy. Results from three-wave surveys of 275 employees indicated that: the team BLM will weaken the positive relationship between team mindfulness and employees’ moral effectiveness. This research advances the current understandings of the influencing process between team mindfulness and employees’ moral efficacy by identifying the moderating role of team BLM, and casts the spotlight on the impact mechanism among team mindfulness, team BLM, and employees’ moral efficacy at the team level. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.
