75 preschool teachers were studied using the interpersonal conflict work scale, envy scale, emotional exhaustion scale, and mindfulness scale to investigate the relationship and internal mechanism between trait mindfulness, interpersonal conflict, envy, and emotional exhaustion. The findings revealed that the direct effect of trait mindfulness on interpersonal conflict was not statistically significant. However, trait mindfulness was associated with emotional exhaustion and interpersonal conflict. And trait mindfulness influenced the interpersonal conflict of preschool teachers primarily through the independent mediating effect of emotional exhaustion. As a result, trait mindfulness could predict preschool teachers’ interpersonal conflict via the independent mediating effect of emotional exhaustion. However, trait mindfulness did not predict preschool teachers’ interpersonal conflict via the independent mediating effect of envy or the chain mediating effect of envy and emotional exhaustion.
