Quantitative research design was employed in this study specifically the causal comparative. The study was conducted in the Davao Region, which was participated by 412 respondents. Primary data was utilized in gathering information. The survey questionnaire utilized in the study were sourced from various related researches. The data gathered was subjected to analysis and interpretation using the fundamental statistical tools, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, multiple regression and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM).

Cultural value orientation, organizational commitment and personality dimension has a significant relationship to QWL.
