| Description | Mindfulness has been conceptualized both on the individual level (Langer, 1989) and on the organizational level (Weick & Sutcliffe, 2015). While the link between these two levels has been proposed to rest on bottom-up processes with a special role for middle-managers (Vogus & Sutcliffe, 2012), a theoretical foundation of the concrete mechanisms is lacking. This paper aims to deliver such a foundation based on, first, relating the proposed aspects of mindful organizing to types of knowledge and, second, by describing employee involvement as establishing mappings between these different types of knowledge. |
