Abstract: Abstract The concept of ‘Organizational Mindfulness’ is viewed as a fruitful concept opening up new avenues of research in Labor and Organization Studies, and Sustainability Studies. One of these avenues refers to organizational change being highlighted in this volume. This book seeks to explore the interplay between organizational mindfulness and organizational change. It is argued that mindful change can promote social sustainability at organizational level. However, a closer analysis of this interplay requires taking account of the specific institutional contexts economic organizations are embedded in. It is assumed that institutions play a crucial role in facilitating or restricting mindful change at organizational level. In this introduction, core conceptual trajectories of (organizational) mindfulness are sketched. Against this background, the contributions to this volume are introduced referring to the organizational and/or institutional and sustainability perspectives on mindful change. Finally, further research avenues are presented.
