Abstract: Introduction: Nurses, as one of the main pillars of the healthcare system, face multiple challenges in the workplace that can affect their job-related quality of life and professional performance. This study aimed to develop a model of nurses' quality of work life based on Islamic work ethics and occupational stress, with the mediating role of positive and negative perfectionism. Material and Methods: The study employed a descriptive correlational design using path analysis. The statistical population included nurses working in hospitals in Isfahan in 2025, of whom 250 were selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using four questionnaires: positive and negative perfectionism, occupational stress, Islamic work ethics, and quality of work life, and analyzed with SPSS-26 and AMOS software. Results: The findings indicated a significant positive relationship between quality of work life and Islamic work ethics (r = 0.70) and Positive perfectionism (r = 0.52), while the relationship with occupational stress was negative but non-significant (r = -0.12). Positive perfectionism also played a significant mediating role in the effect of Islamic work ethics on quality of work life. According to the results, Islamic work ethics and positive perfectionism are key factors in improving nurses' quality of work life. Conclusion: that Islamic work ethics and positive perfectionism are the most important factors in enhancing nurses’ quality of work life, and reducing tendencies toward negative perfectionism may help moderate occupational stress.
