The relationship between the perceived risk of infection at the workplace and quality of work life (QoWL): Healthcare workers' perspectives.

Background: One of today's most significant organizational priorities, including healthcare organizations, is to improve the quality of work-life (QoWL), which leads to offering high-quality services to patients. Aim: The study aimed to explore the effect of the perceived risk of infection and its impact on the quality of work-life (QoWL) on HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 484 healthcare workers. Respondents were recruited using convenience sampling methods. Results: : The study findings revealed a better QoWL with a decreased perceived risk of COVID-19 infection. Conclusion: Increasing the quality of work life will be reflected in adherence to health protocols, which creates a work environment capable of dealing with challenges, including the risk of infection such as COVID-19.
