    This study examines the relationship between organizational Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices specifically Environmental Sustainability and Community Engagement and employee psychological connection, with organizational trust as a mediating variable. Using a cross-sectional survey of 269 employees from three diagnostic centers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and employing regression and bootstrapped mediation analyses, the findings reveal that both CSR dimensions positively influence psychological connection, with Community Engagement (β = .791) having a stronger direct effect than Environmental Sustainability (β = .159). Organizational trust partially mediated both relationships, with significant indirect effects for Environmental Sustainability (.261) and Community Engagement (.321). The results highlight trust as a critical mechanism through which CSR fosters employee attachment, providing practical insights for healthcare organizations seeking to leverage CSR for human resource benefits amid challenges like employee turnover.
