Abstract:

The prompt response to market changes, demands managers and employees to be flexible and perform multiple tasks, simultaneously. Mindfulness encouraged companies to be goal-oriented by improving attention to the present moment. Unexpected events faced by firms should be approached wisely to achieve organizational objectives. Hence, a strategic decision process should be coupled with mindfulness to make effective decisions that result in increased performance. There is limited empirical mindfulness research in the management discipline, particularly on whether mindfulness foster or impedes task performance in the workplace. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to develop a view as to “how do small and medium firms react in uncertain conditions by employing mindfulness in predicting and comprising problems in their strategic decision process to achieve objectives and enhance performance in the context of Saudi Arabia”. The findings enriched the comprehension of the effect of mindfulness in the strategic decision process on organizational performance.
