In this article, our aim is to describe an emerging concept in the field of organizational behavior:
“Mindfulness”. Mindfulness could be defined as the way to become aware of the body, the mind,
the emotions and the spirit. It is often presented as a part of Emotional Intelligence (EI). It comes
from ancient oriental traditions. It is far from being a recent concept. Even if it is an old concept,
more than thousands of years old, it has emerged in the field of organizational behaviour only
three or four years ago, mostly in the USA. It is unfortunate considering that mindfulness is part
of the Indian culture, much more than it is of the Western culture.
