Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

今回の研究結果から、簡易型マインドフルネス認知療法が、労働者のwell-beingを改善するだけでなく、少なくとも短期的な労働生産性の改善にも寄与することが明らかになった。この結果からこうした介入が単に職域における福利厚生としてではなく、経営的観点からも投資に値する施策であることが明らかになったが、そのことの社会的意義は大きいと考える。また今後解析が進められる経済評価と合わせることで、経営者や産業保健スタッフがこうしたプログラムの導入について検討する際、その意思決定を助ける情報提供が可能になったことも社会的な意義のひとつであると考える。
