- Testing the affective events theory: The mediating role of affect and the moderating role of mindfulnessPublication . Junça-Silva, Ana; Pombeira, Catarina; Caetano, AntonioThis study aims to expand the knowledge on the affective events theory by:(1) testing the mediating role of affectin the relationship between micro-dailyevents and well-being, (2) and analyzing the moderating role of mindfulness in thismediated relationship. To achieve these goals, we collected data with 393 workingadults. The results showed that: (1) affect mediates the relationship betweenmicro-daily events and well-being; (2) mindfulness moderates the mediated rela-tionship between micro-daily events and well-being via affect, that is, higher levelsof mindfulness are positively related to well-being in particular when the levels ofpositive affect are higher. These resultsshow the importance of providing condi-tions for the occurrence of daily uplifts at work as these seem to lead to increasesin employees' well-being. Promoting mindfulness at work also seems relevant forworkers' mental health and well-being, forexample, through complementary train-ing or daily practices.
