Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital Banach algebra, $\mathcal{M}$ a unital $\mathcal{A}$-bimodule, and $\delta$ a linear mapping from $\mathcal{A}$ into $\mathcal{M}$. We prove that if $\delta$ satisfies $\delta(A)A^{-1}+A^{-1}\delta(A)+A\delta(A^{-1})+\delta(A^{-1})A=0$ for every invertible element $A$ in $\mathcal{A}$, then $\delta$ is a Jordan derivation. Moreover, we show that $\delta$ is a Jordan derivable mapping at the unit element if and only if $\delta$ is a Jordan derivation. As an application, we answer the question posed in [4, Problem 2.6].
