This research examines the relation between mindfulness and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) of future business leaders, viz., MBA students through the lens of resilience. We also evaluate the impact of mindfulness on their academic performance in their business schools which is an indicator of future business success. The study found that mindfulness is a significant predictor of OCB as also of grades achieved by the students in the MBA programme. Further, we find evidence for the partial mediation model. We find that one third of the effect comes from higher resilience while the remaining two thirds comes directly from mindfulness. In case of the grades obtained by the MBA students, 37.5 per cent of increase comes through resilience whereas the rest comes from mindfulness directly. We find that mindfulness fulfils this objective of the students in addition to broader social objective of enhancing their OCB.

本研究通过韧性的视角考察了未来商业领袖（即 MBA 学生）的正念与组织公民行为 (OCB) 之间的关系。我们还评估了正念对他们在商学院学习成绩的影响，这是未来商业成功的一个指标。研究发现，正念是 OCB 的重要预测因素，也是 MBA 课程学生取得的成绩的重要预测因素。此外，我们找到了部分中介模型的证据。我们发现三分之一的效果来自更高的弹性，而其余三分之二的效果直接来自正念。就MBA学生获得的成绩而言，37.5%的增长来自韧性，而其余的则直接来自正念。
