This study explores the interrelationship between job satisfaction, work motivation, and quality of life among healthcare professionals, a population often vulnerable to occupational stress and burnout. Using a quantitative, correlational design, data were collected from 50 healthcare professionals aged 35–50 years through non-probability sampling. Standardized instruments included the Job Satisfaction Survey (Spector, 1985), the Work Motivation Questionnaire (Agarwal, 2012), and the WHO Quality of Life Scale-BREF (WHO, 1995). Pearson product-moment correlation was applied to assess associations among the three variables. Results revealed significant positive correlations between job satisfaction and quality of life, between work motivation and quality of life, and between job satisfaction and work motivation. These findings underscore the critical importance of fostering motivation and satisfaction among healthcare professionals to enhance their overall quality of life and professional functioning.
