The population of the study consists of employees of a training and research hospital located in a medium-sized province in Turkey. Participants in the survey were selected using the simple random sampling method. The data consists of a survey conducted by 426 people. The findings showed that job crafting has a mediating role in the indirect effect of the occupational motivation levels of health workers on their individual creativity.
