  Alexander, C. N.; Swanson, G. C.; Rainforth, M. V.; Carlisle, T. W.; Todd, C. C.; and Oates, R. M. Effects of the Transcendental Meditation program on stress reduction, health, and employee development: a prospective study in two occupational settings. Anxiety, Stress and Coping 6: 245–262, 1993.

  This research study found that executives and employees who learned and regularly practiced the Transcendental Meditation program, in contrast to other employees from the same worksites, showed increased employee effectiveness, increased job satisfaction, improved personal and work relationships, reduced job worry and tension, reduced trait anxiety, decreased insomnia and decreased fatigue, reduced cigarette and hard liquor use, improved health, and greater calm (lower skin conductance) during task performance. The group of participants in the Transcendental Meditation program also showed, in contrast to the controls, improvement on three components found to underlie each of these measures—increased occupational coherence, increased physiological settledness, and increased satisfaction with professional and personal life.
