Today, more than ever, the role of employee mental health, job satisfaction, and emphasis on the role and personality of individuals in the workplace are seen to face the complexity of the environment. Psychological empowerment as an internal stimulus allows employees to enhance self-efficacy and job satisfaction by using their sense of self-confidence and autonomy in their jobs.

The data gathering tool was a questionnaire. A sample of 137 people was randomly assigned to the Morgan table using a random number table. Validity (convergent and divergent) and reliability (composite reliability coefficient and Cronbach's alpha coefficient) obtained from the structural equation modeling technique indicate that the instrument has good validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed using PLS software and significant relationships between the variables were performed using T statistics. Results showed Psychological empowerment has a direct and indirect effect on job satisfaction, and about 28% of the total effect of psychological empowerment on job satisfaction is indirectly explained by the positive mediating variable of affective affinity
