Objective: The current research endeavor sought to elucidate the precursors of work life quality among secondary school teachers in Sirjan City.
Methods: The methodological approach employed in this investigation was descriptive correlational in nature. The target population for this study comprised all secondary school educators in Sirjan City in the year 2024, from which the statistical sample was derived utilizing a non-probability sampling technique. The instruments utilized for data collection included the Teachers' Work Life Quality Questionnaire, the Emotional Commitment Questionnaire, and the Job Security Questionnaire. To assess the research hypothesis, multiple regression analysis was conducted. Furthermore, the statistical software utilized for this analysis was SPSS version 26.
Results: The findings from the statistical analysis indicated that emotional commitment and job security serve as significant predictors (P<0.05) of the quality of work life.
Conclusions: Consequently, it can be inferred that secondary school teachers are likely to attain a favorable quality of work life when they possess elevated levels of job security and emotional commitment to their professional roles.
