Abstract

This study investigates how Empathy-Transcendence, which is essential for organizational longevity, improves employee satisfaction through mindfulness. Self-transcendence theory emphasizes the intrinsic yearning for connection beyond oneself, fostering personal progress, whereas empathy, based in social exchange theory, promotes meaningful relationships. The Attention Restoration Theory emphasizes the role that mindfulness plays in recharging cognitive reserves and improving general job satisfaction.

Using a Google Form to survey 400 managers in Chennai's automotive sector, the author analyzed the data using structural equation modeling in SPSS V.23 (PROCESS Macro).

The ndings show that transcendence and empathy-two factors that mediate job satisfaction-are highly inuenced by mindfulness.

In the workplace, emotional resilience improves engagement, output, and job satisfaction, which promotes worker wellbeing and organizational success.
