This study aims to examine the effects of well-being levels of employees working in the healthcare sector on individual creativity and self-efficacy, and to evaluate the mediating role of organizational innovation in this relationship. This study employed the correlational survey model, a quantitative research method, with a sample comprising 583 healthcare professionals employed in public health institutions in Kırşehir, Türkiye. The data were collected using validated and reliable scales, and the analyses were conducted using SPSS 26, AMOS 24, and Hayes' Process Macro (Model 4). According to the research findings, employee well-being has a significant and positive effect on individual creativity. Furthermore, organizational innovation plays a partial mediating role in this relationship. However, the effect of employee well-being on self-efficacy, as well as the effect of organizational innovation on self-efficacy, was not found to be statistically significant. In terms of demographic variables, it was found that women, married individuals, and older employees reported higher levels of well-being, self-efficacy, and creativity. Notably, high school graduates scored higher on these variables compared to individuals with other educational backgrounds. The research findings highlight the interaction between individual psychological resources and organizational dynamics in the healthcare field, suggesting that policies supporting employee well-being and innovative organizational structures may enhance individual creativity.
