Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the impact of job boredom on job outcomes, namely, job satisfaction and counterproduc- tive work behavior, focusing on the role of different types of mind-wandering – spontaneous and deliberate mind-wander- ing. The results showed that deliberate mind-wandering mediates the link between job boredom and job satisfaction, while spontaneous mind-wandering mediates the connection between job boredom and counterproductive work behavior. In essence, when employees experience boredom at work, their spontaneous mind-wandering can lead to harmful behaviors, affecting their colleagues and organizations. On the other hand, deliberate mind-wandering can improve job satisfaction. This study provides valuable insights for managing job boredom and suggests future research directions.
