This study aims to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness training in reducing nomophobia in Generation Z Remote Workers, as well as evaluating differences in nomophobia based on the Big Five Personality Traits personality dimensions. The research sample consisted of 10 employees of Company X engaged in the creative media industry aged 20-27 years. After screening using the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) scale and the BFI-2 scale, 10 people were determined who met the criteria for research subjects and were willing to take part in the intervention program. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a one group pretest-posttest design. The research instruments included the NMP-Q and BFI-2 scales, while data analysis used the Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed an Asymp.

Sig (2-tailed) value of 0.578 (> 0.05), which means that there is no significant difference in reducing nomophobia based on the personality types of Openness, Extraversion, and Neuroticism
