Abstract The current study investigates the impact of spiritual study on the mental health outcomes of working professionals using a multidimensional and empirically validated framework. The research conceptualizes spiritual study as a systematic cognitive-behavioural intervention impacting psychological well-being grounded in theories of workplace spirituality, stress coping, and emotional regulation. We collected data through a questionnaire addressing the main mental health dimensions, including emotional regulation, stress management, cognitive functioning, self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. The proposed relationships were tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). The results indicate that spiritual study has a significant effect on positive psychological constructs, especially emotional regulation and self-esteem, and reduces depression and anxiety levels. The structural model demonstrated a good fit and confirmed both direct and indirect effects, indicating that mental health dimensions partially mediated the association between spiritual study and psychological distress. The results suggest that spiritual study provides an overall mechanism for enhancing internal coping resources and general well-being. The present study adds to the literature by operationalizing spiritual study as a measurable construct and by integrating multiple dimensions of mental health into an integrated model. The findings have important implications for organizations and policymakers, as formal spiritual interventions may be a useful preventive tool to improve employee mental health in high-stress workplaces
