The study examines how the three Enneagram dimensions relate to decision-making styles, testing mindfulness as a mediating variable. Findings indicate linear associations between most dimensions and decision-making styles, including positive links with moderately alert style and negative links with others. Mindfulness mediates between instinct- or feeling-centered personalities and four decision-making

This paper explores the relationship among the three dimensions of Enneagram and decision-making styles, with mindfulness playing a mediating role. We found that except for the thinking-centered dimension of personality, the other two dimensions have a linear correlation with the other three decision-making styles. Mindfulness is positively correlated with moderately alert decision-making style and negatively correlated with others. Mindfulness plays a mediating role between instinct-centered or feeling-centered personalities and four decision-making styles.  \nKeywords  \nEnneagram, Mindfulness, Decision-Making Style, Mediation Effect  \n1. Introduction  \nDecision-making is the most basic pattern of behavior in human life and one of the most important abilities in daily life, which affect all aspects of people’s life and work. The research on decision-making style originated in foreign countries and it has received extensive attention in many fields, such as psychology, management, politic and so on since the second half of the 20th century [1] . In a complex and changeable environment, managers must make decisions that affect the fate of individuals and businesses under the uncertainty of inadequate information. Thus it can be seen, decision-making plays an important role in personal life and enterprises. In this  case, the individual’s personality, ability,*Corresponding author.  \nDOI: 10.4236/jss.2019.74021 Apr. 23, 2019 266 Open Journal of Social Sciences  \nemotion, psychology and other characteristics play an important role in decision-making style [2] . Identifying the characteristics of decision-makers and the impact of psychological effects on decision-making style, and then improving the psychological process of decision-making are the key to rational decision making. In addition, understanding the impact of personality differences on decision-making is also conducive to improving the accuracy of individual and organizational decision-making.  \nMindfulness is rooted in eastern meditation, which is a conscious perception and concentration without judging. Mindfulness is applied in medicine and psychology first, and it combines western cranial nerve and psychology [3] . Mindfulness is accepted by more and more mainstream of society. Several famous colleges in America set up study topics about mindfulness and put it informal curriculum. Now mindfulness is applied in enterprises gradually. Mindfulness-based stress reduction is used to reduce work stress and improve task performance. A mass of practice and researches also prove that mindfulness can reduce stress levels, enhance mental focus, and improve practitioners’ happ","cbCaivleECCuwpF6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivleECCuwpF6","pdf",326394,16,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# 1.
