Aim: Given the importance of maintaining mental health and enhancing managers' performance in organizations, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Mindfulness-Based Strategic Awareness Training (MBSAT) application in reducing occupational depression and improving individual work performance among managers.
Methods: This applied study employed a randomized controlled trial with a pretest–posttest design, a control group, and a three-month follow-up. The study population consisted of managers and supervisors working at the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone in Asaluyeh, Iran, in 2025. A total of 262 eligible participants were enrolled and randomly allocated to either the intervention group (n = 131) or the control group (n = 131). Data were collected using the Occupational Depression Inventory (Bianchi & Schonfeld, 2020) and the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (Koopmans, 2014). Participants in the intervention group used the MBSAT application daily for 36 days. Data were analyzed using mixed-design repeated-measures analysis of variance.
Results: The mixed-design repeated-measures ANOVA revealed a significant Group × Time interaction for both occupational depression and individual work performance (p < .001). Compared with the control group, participants in the intervention group demonstrated a significant reduction in occupational depression and a significant improvement in individual work performance at posttest, and these improvements were maintained at the three-month follow-up.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that the MBSAT application is an effective digital intervention for reducing occupational depression and enhancing individual work performance among managers.
