The COVID-19 pandemic, remote work and new technologies have heightened workplace pressures. Effective response and essential organizational changes require business leaders to be more adaptable, with managers’ presence playing a pivotal role in successful implementation. The study assesses a brief mindfulness-based emotional regulation for managers (MBERM) intervention, to reduce workplace stress and enhance managerial well-being. Methods. An 8-week non-randomized controlled trial was conducted with a waiting list control group and an intervention group. Pre–post differences were measured by Student’s t test or Wilcoxon test, and effect size calculated using the Hedge’s g formula. The sample included 23 managers (17 men and six women) with average age 50 years. The study assessed anxiety and depressive symptoms, psychological flexibility, perceived self-efficacy, general work-related well-being, perceived stress and mindfulness. Results. Statistically significant changes were observed in the intervention group in depression, anxiety, work-related acceptance and action, general self-efficacy, exhaustion, alienation, stress and non-reactivity. The control group showed no statistically significant changes in any of the variables. Conclusion. The MBERM intervention could improve the emotional and work-related well-being of managers and reduce stress levels and burnout. Further study of this intervention is needed to promote adherence and ensure a long-term improvement. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/B21-23R-GAIAP info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII-RICAPPS/RD21-0016-0005 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 2.0 2024 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 215 / 421 = 0.511 2024 Q3 T2 ERGONOMICS 17 / 25 = 0.68 2024 Q3 T3 0.595 2024 Safety Research 2024 Q1 Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality 2024 Q2 Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health 2024 Q2 4.9 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Adame, Lorena Aguilar-Latorre, Alejandra Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-2683-7346 Millán, Benito Domínguez-García, Marta Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-8942-814X Magallón-Botaya, Rosa Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5494-6550 4009 740 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
