摘要：This paper reviews Langer's Mindfulness Scale from perspective of industry and factor structure. Confirmatory factor analysis was unable to replicate the findings of the previous multiple factor models that was based on university students and individuals in personal settings. Explanatory factor analysis revealed a two factor model. Results were compared to other empirical results. The relationship between the variables of mindfulness/mindlessness was examined to reveal strong correlation. This findings support an earlier empirical investigation of a two-factor mindfulness scale. Nonetheless, findings from a single case study do not construe similar findings from industry nature. Future validation studies could expand to other industries particularly having different mix of process and service orientation, respondents employed in support functions and respondents of large size and having different diversity. Mindfulness has positive association with individuals' education and division of employment. This result is consistent with studies in adaptive management.
