Abstract: Combining social information processing (SIP) theory and the mindfulness literature, we propose that team mindfulness is positively related to both team psychological safety climate and team positive affective climate; in turn, these factors are positively related to employee openness to change. We further propose that a higher (versus lower) level of leader workplace mindfulness enhanced the positive effects of team mindfulness on team climates and the above indirect effects. We conducted two quantitative studies (i.e., a scenario-based experiment and a time-lagged and multi-source survey with Western and Chinese samples). Data largely support our hypotheses. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are discussed.
