Mindfulness is about the quality of attention and awareness focusing on the present moment, which can be practiced through meditation. However, it is more than just a tool, it is a style of life. We do not find a unified definition neither in the literature of organization studies but the number of papers discussing individual and organizational level benefits are growing. These benefits can be a healthier coping with stress or higher quality of organizational attention which is crucial when you examine processes of high reliability organizations (e.g. air traffic control). The goal of the article is to introduce the notion of mindfulness and to have an insight into the organizational related literature in a way that serves understanding. This results in revealing some important experience, main points and questions in the literature, for example the danger of neglecting eastern tradition using mindfulness in a western way. The article also identifies some further research fields. In the fast-changing environment, the importance of the role of mindfulness on the organizational level is proved by its capability to promote physical and mental health, and the need of development of resilience and attention for both employees and leaders, and the benefits revealed of it.
