Abstract

The philosophy of the quality of work life is a set of principles that hold people as the most important resource in organizations. They are trustworthy, responsible, and capable of making a valuable contribution. As such, they should be treated with dignity and respect. The elements relevant to an individual's quality of work life include the task, the physical work environment, and the social environment within the organization, the administrative system, and the relationship between life on and off the job. Nurses are one of the most powerful pillars of the healthcare delivery system, providing people with safe, affordable, and high-quality services. However, nurses often experience high levels of job stress, burnout, and dissatisfaction with their work, which can have negative consequences for themselves, their patients, and the healthcare system. It states that prioritizing the philosophy of quality of work life in nursing practice is critical for enhancing nurses' well-being and ability to provide high-quality care to patients.
