<![CDATA[A crucial phenomenon among middle-adult teachers indicates that 77.9% of participants exhibit a high level of digital hoarding behaviour. Digital hoarding is the tendency to collect and retain digital files excessively, often accompanied by emotional attachment and difficulty in deleting data that are no longer in use. Mindfulness, defined as full awareness of present-moment experience without judgement, functions as a protective factor in managing impulsive behaviours, including digital hoarding. This study aims to identify the correlational relationship between digital hoarding behaviour and mindfulness among middle-adult teachers in Jakarta. The research sample consisted of 149 teachers aged 40–50 years, selected through purposive sampling and assessed using the Indonesian versions of the Digital Hoarding Questionnaire (DHQ) and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). Statistical analysis showed that the majority of respondents had high digital-hoarding scores (77.9%) and moderate mindfulness (79.2%), while only 3.4% achieved a high level of mindfulness. The correlation analysis yielded a significant negative relationship, with a Spearman’s rho value of –0.449 (p<0.001), indicating that the higher the mindfulness, the lower the digital hoarding behaviour. Further analysis found significant differences based on age and school level, though not by gender or the number of digital devices. These findings emphasise the importance of practical interventions such as mindfulness training and digital-data management workshops to reduce digital hoarding behaviour and improve teachers’ psychological well-being. It is suggested that educational institutions develop mentoring, coaching, and monitoring programmes to help teachers manage digital data and work-related stress. Future research is recommended to explore more deeply the influence of psychological and organisational factors.
