The population in this study were firefighters in Bandung.The sampling technique used is purposive sampling with 135 samples consisting of 109 men and 26 women. The instrument used is the Work-related Quality of Work Life Scale developed by Easton and Van Laar (2018). The results of the study showed that most firefighters had a quality of work life in the high category, specifically 83 people (63.7%), in medium category with total of 36 people (28.9%), and in the low category with total of 10 people (7.6%).
