Abstract Through collecting paired data with 275 followers and 56 leaders at 2 time points, this study explores the effects of follower mindfulness on work engagement, including the moderating effect of leader mindfulness and the mediating role of leader-member exchange. The empirical results show that follower mindfulness positively predicts work engagement; leader mindfulness positively moderates the correlation between follower mindfulness and leader-member exchange. Such relationship is relatively stronger when leader mindfulness is high, and is relatively weaker when leader mindfulness is low. In addition, leader mindfulness moderates the mediating effect of leader-member exchange on the relationship between follower mindfulness and work engagement. The mediating effect is relatively stronger with high leader mindfulness and relatively weaker with low leader mindfulness.
