Abstract: Mindfulness (MF) has gained increasing acceptance across disciplines, prompting extensive research on its impact on individual and organizational outcomes such as stress reduction, job satisfaction, and performance. While this has enriched the field with new perspectives, it has also posed challenges in achieving a unified understanding of MF, particularly regarding the intersection of individual and organizational MF. To address this, our study employed bibliometric analysis to map the intellectual structure of this emerging field within the management domain, focusing on the confluence of individual and organizational MF. We examined the field’s fundamental empirical components and intellectual structure using citation and co-word analyses of Scopus data. Our analysis included an assessment of highly cited publications, authors and their affiliations, and emerging themes such as mindful consumption, team MF, ethical leadership, green MF, and organizational MF. This study also provides insights into how individual MF interacts with organizational settings, offering a comprehensive understanding of their interrelations.
