SYNOPSIS Research suggests that individual, secular mindfulness can improve work outcomes, including reducing stress and increasing attention, wellness, and job performance. This paper discusses the construct and efficacy of mindfulness and explores opportunities for and challenges to integrating workplace mindfulness in professional accounting. Evidence from websites suggests that most large accounting firms promote workplace mindfulness to their clients and that some (e.g., EY and PWC) promote its practice among their accounting professionals. While a review of literature indicates support for some claimed benefits, workplace mindfulness is no panacea. Challenges to workplace mindfulness include the unwillingness of some accounting professionals to practice mindfulness and that some claimed benefits, e.g., improved leadership and teamwork, are not well-supported by research. The paper concludes by proposing a set of workplace mindfulness issues and practice opportunities and discussing impediments to and the limits of mindfulness in professional accounting.

This is a meta-analysis study. The study aims to determine the highest average score and the impact of the three elements of Allen and Meyer’s organizational commitment: Affective Commitment (AC), Normative Commitment (NC), and Continuance Commitment (CC). The author employed Sturgess's interpretation to determine the average score by Very Low, Low, Low Enough, High Enough, High, and Very High. We got that the highest average score of the three components of organizational commitments is the affective commitment (0.704), followed by the normative commitment (0.681), and the last one is the continuance commitment (0.585). We draw the conclusion that a person, basically, wants to be useful to others. Then, she will be able to put aside individual interests for the sake of common interests so that she will dare to bind herself to agreements, rules, and norms for mutual survival (NC). 'As a result of wanting to be useful to others and having the courage to decide to stay together in the rules, she will dare to put aside his transactional self-interest which is centered on personal interests or gain (CC). The scoring average consecutively says that AC is the biggest among of all, NC is less than AC, and CC is the least, implies that a manager should be able to build and maintain the AC as the first priority, followed by the NC. If a manager has been able to build and maintain the AC and NC, she is able to build and maintain the CC automatically.

Purpose Typical accounting firms offer three types of accounting services to their clients: accounting and auditing (AA), tax (TAX) and management advisory services (MAS). Each accounting service has a different revenue persistence. Moreover, revenue persistence is affected by exogenous events such as new regulations (e.g. Sarbanes-Oxley Act [SOX] in 2002) and market conditions (e.g. the financial crisis of 2008). This paper aims to examine the revenue persistence of accounting services and how it is affected by SOX and the financial crisis. Design/methodology/approach Using 742 firm-year observations from 100 of the largest US accounting firms from 1999 to 2015, this paper examines whether revenue from AA, TAX and MAS has different degrees of persistence and how SOX and the financial crisis in 2008 change the revenue persistence of each accounting service. Findings This paper finds that MAS generates more persistent revenue than AA and TAX. SOX enhances the revenue persistence of MAS. The financial crisis makes revenue from AA less persistent than during the pre-financial crisis period. Originality/value This paper contributes to the understanding of the revenue persistence of accounting services and the impact of exogenous events such as SOX and the financial crisis of 2008.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings The study, set in four Norwegian hospitals, finds that institutional stress is directly related to employee job performance, but not directly related to job performance in those with managerial responsibility. The relationship between institutional stress and job performance is mediated by motivational resources – autonomy, competence and social support. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
