Professional commitment has significant influence on nurses’ job performance and patients’ outcomes. An increasingly excessive workload seems to be an inevitable consequence of the advancement in medical technology. A worsening nurse-patient ratio and an increasing number of specific nursing tasks have a direct impact on nurses’ quality of work-life. This high workload and poor working environment can lead to poor quality of work-life and eventually, burnout which directly affect nurses’ job performance and professional commitment. This study was aimed to determine the relationships between quality of work-life, burnout and professional commitment among nurses.
