This study examined the moderating effect of career satisfaction on the effect of mental well-being on prosocial motivation. Designed as a quantitative study, data were collected from 203 drug store employees via a survey using convenience sampling and snowball sampling methods. The data obtained through the surveys was subjected to various statistical and structural equation analyses. According to the analysis results, career satisfaction yielded significant results at low, high, and very high levels in the effect of mental well-being on prosocial motivation. However, a significant moderating effect of moderate career satisfaction on this relationship was not found. The findings of the study offer a new perspective on employee behavior, fill a gap in the existing literature, and contribute to the expansion of the theoretical framework in the field of organizational behavior. Furthermore, the findings reveal the organizational implications of strategies designed to increase employee mental well-being and career satisfaction, highlighting the necessary recommendations for encouraging prosocial behavior.
