Abstract: Background: Health is a critical factor influencing key workplace outcomes,
including job attitudes, behaviors, and performance. This study investigated the role
of daily micro-breaks, specifically morning meditation practices, and positive affective
experiences (i.e., positive affect) at work in predicting health-related outcomes, namely
vitality and mental health. Using a non-experimental design, this study tested a moderated
mediation model in which sleep quality moderates the relationship between morning meditation
and positive affect, which, in turn, predicts end-of-the-day health-related outcomes.
Methodology: Data were collected twice a day from 44 healthcare employees over five
consecutive workdays using a daily survey approach. Key Results: Multilevel modeling
analyses revealed that morning meditation was significantly associated with increased
positive affect and improved health indicators at the end of the workday. Moreover, sleep
quality moderated the relationship between morning meditation and positive affect, such
that the conditional indirect effect of meditation on end-of-day mental health and vitality
via positive affect was significant when sleep quality from the preceding night was poor.
Conclusions: These findings underscore the interactive effect of prior-night sleep quality
and morning meditation on affective and health-related outcomes by the end of the day. By
identifying sleep quality as a key boundary condition, we contribute to a more nuanced
understanding of when meditation is most beneficial. Our findings have significant implications
for both research and practice, particularly in high-stress environments such
as healthcare, where optimizing employee well-being is crucial for both individual and
organizational performance.
