Meditation and its relationships within the workplace

Meditation is primarily examined within leisure contexts yet a review of the literature shows a recent trend where studies are making forays into workplace settings. An in-depth-analysis of the international Meditation literature across the business, medicine and psychology disciplines was conducted so as to uncover the relationships between Meditation and the workplace. The two general categories of Internal and External Meditation Benefit were generated and uncovered relationships between Meditation and Physical Health, Psychological Health, Workplace Benefits, and Family and Society. These categories formed an integrated overarching framework providing the foundation from which to progress to the next stage of in-depth analysis addressing Meditation in the Workplace and its elements thereby generating an innovative conceptual 'Meditation and workplace' model.
