This study aimed to investigate the impact of various factors on employee morale and well-being in an organization. A survey was conducted among 294 employees from different health care organizations, and statistical analysis was performed using Sem PLS. The results showed that task complexity, innovative climate, and social cohesion had a significant positive impact on employee morale and well-being, while job stress had a negative impact. Perceived fairness also played a significant role in enhancing employee morale and well-being in context of healthcare sector. Mediator variables, such as innovative work behavior and task complexity, positively impacted the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The study has important implications for policy and theory, highlighting the significance of task innovation, social cohesion, and perceived fairness for improving employee morale and well-being. In our research, limitations include the lack of exposure to the healthcare workplace among some participants and the inability to control employee turnover and training effects. Future research could explore the impact of technology on employee morale and well-being in organizations.
