Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between job autonomy, self-efficacy, and quality of work life (QWL) among healthcare professionals. A survey of 115 healthcare professionals was conducted to examine the impact of job autonomy and self-efficacy on QWL. The results show that both job autonomy and self-efficacy are significant predictors of QWL, with self-efficacy emerging as a stronger predictor. The findings suggest that healthcare organizations can improve QWL by providing employees with greater autonomy in their work and fostering their self
efficacy through training and development opportunities. This study contributes to the existing literature on QWL in healthcare and provides insights for organizational interventions aimed at enhancing the well-being and job satisfaction of healthcare professionals.

Keywords: Quality of Work Life, Self-efficacy, Job autonomy, Healthcare professionals
