Objective: This study examines the relationships among psychological empowerment, spiritual orientation, collectivism, employee silence, corporate social responsibility, and mental well-being among healthcare professionals. It specifically investigates the relative contribution of psychological empowerment and spiritual orientation to mental well-being and explores the downstream effects of mental well-being on employee silence and socially responsible behavior.

Material and Method: Data were collected from 86 healthcare professionals employed at a state university hospital using validated measurement scales. The proposed model was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS

4. Measurement model evaluation included reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity assessments, followed by structural model testing using bootstrapping procedures.
Results: The measurement model demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity. Structural model findings indicated that psychological empowerment significantly and positively predicts mental well-being. In turn, mental well-being was found to reduce employee silence and enhance corporate social responsibility. In contrast, neither collectivism nor spiritual orientation showed a statistically significant effect on mental well-being.

Conclusion: The findings highlight psychological empowerment as a key determinant of mental well-being among healthcare professionals, outweighing the influence of cultural and spiritual factors in this context. ffurthermore, improved mental well-being appears to play a critical role in fostering proactive workplace behaviors by reducing employee silence and promoting socially responsible actions. These results provide practical implications for healthcare organizations aiming to strengthen employee well-being and organizational effectiveness through empowerment-based strategies.
