Abstract:

 Purpose: This study aims to identify the role of mindfulness as a mediating variable in the relationship between conscious leadership and sustainable administrative development in Palestinian Governmental universities.Study design/methodology/approach: Primary data were collected through a survey, and the proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling with the partial least squares (SEM-PLS) technique.Sample and data: Data were collected from a stratified random sample of 202 faculty members at Palestinian governmental universities.Results: The universities demonstrated a high commitment to conscious leadership and sustainable administrative development, and a moderate commitment to mindfulness. Conscious leadership positively influenced both sustainable administrative development and mindfulness, while mindfulness further enhanced sustainable administrative development. Moreover, mindfulness partially mediated the relationship between conscious leadership and sustainable administrative development.Originality/value: This study advances understanding of conscious leadership and sustainable administrative development by integrating mindfulness as a mediating variable within a single model, focusing on the underexplored context of Arab governmental universities.Research limitations/ implications: The study is limited to faculty members in Palestinian governmental universities. Future research should test the proposed model across different Arab countries and sectors, using more diverse samples to strengthen generalizability and uncover additional mediating factors.
