description Background: Background studies show that mindfulness training and emotional intelligence have been effective in job stress, work-family conflict and well-being, but it is not yet clear which of these interventions are more effective and more stable over time. Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness and emotional intelligence training methods on job stress, work-family conflict and well-being. Methods: The present research is of applied type in terms of objective employing a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and three-month follow-up. The statistical population consisted of staff in Sazeh Gostar Saipa Co. in 2019. From among the statistical population, 90 were chosen through available sampling method, and assigned randomly (lottery) across two experimental groups of training mindfulness and training emotional intelligence, plus control group. Assessment tools include; The British Institute of Health and Safety Questionnaire (1993), the Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire (2000) and the Reef Well-being Questionnaire (1989). One experimental group received the Kabat-Ziin model-based mindfulness intervention (2015) and the other experimental group received the emotional intelligence training package based on the model of Salovy et al. (2016) in eight 60-minute sesions. The control group did not receive any intervention. Data analysis was performed through mixed ANOVA method. Results: The results showed that the training of mindfulness and emotional intelligence has been effective on job stress, family conflict, well-being of employees (P <0.05). Mindfulness training has a greater effect on job stress and well-being of employees compared to emotional intelligence training (P <0.05). Conclusion: It seems that the method of teaching mindfulness and emotional intelligence can be used as a preventive and remedial in the field of well-being in society.
