Well-being at workplace through mindfulness: Influence ofYogapractice on positive affect and aggression.

Abstract
Mindfulness is about being aware of internal and external stimuli by witnessing the act in a nonjudgmental manner. Earlier researches suggest that positive affectivity (PA) is negatively related to negative affectivity, aggression, and counterproductive work behavior (CWB).The present study examined the effect of mindfulness developed throughYogapractices on aggression and PA among working professionals involved in CWB.A pre-test, post-test randomized controlled design was used with a study sample ofYogagroup (n= 80) and control group (n= 80) for a duration of 10 weeks.Yogamodule that includedAsanas,Pranayama, meditation, andYogictheories were taught to theYogagroup. Mild to moderate physical exercises and management theories were taught to the control group. Measurements of aggression and PA scores were taken at the baseline and postintervention for assessment.At the baseline, there was no significant difference in the variable scores between both the groups. Postintervention results revealed thatYogagroup showed statistically significant (P< 0.001) reduction in aggression and significant (P< 0.001) enhancement in PA in comparison to the control group.When compared with the control group at the end of the intervention, theYogagroup scores were significantly lower for aggression and higher for PA.
