Psychology Mindfulness Meditation Mindfulness Organizational Attraction Innovative Perks Openness to Experience Wellness Program Initiative The purpose of this study was to investigate whether mindfulness meditation presented in a job advertisement could have an effect on organizational attraction. Additionally, this study examined if openness to experience could have a moderating effect on the relationship between mindfulness and organizational attraction. Two job advertisements were created for an entry-level consultant position to represent the two conditions. Using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk to collect data, the final sample consisted of 130 participants. Independent-samples t-tests were conducted to determine if mindfulness meditation made individuals perceive an organization to be more attractive than the same organization not offering mindfulness meditation. Contrary to predictions, there was not a significant effect of mindfulness meditation on any of the three dimensions of organizational attraction (i.e., general company attractiveness, pursuit intentions, and company prestige). Moderated regression analyses indicated that openness to experience moderated the relationship between mindfulness and general company attractiveness, but not the other two dimensions of organizational attraction. These findings suggest that organizations should not expect a significant increase in applicants due to adding mindfulness meditation in their job advertisements. However, this study has practical implications for organizations looking to recruit a specific group of individuals: people high on openness to experience. 2019 English text Xavier University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1566151754618979 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1566151754618979 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
