Introduction and Objective of the Research: Cultural identity is one of the most important cultural indicators of any society, and the ratio of commitment and belonging of individuals to their culture can determine and affect the level of work quality. The quality of work life within an organization is estimated by measuring satisfaction, low absenteeism, and high motivation in employees. One of the important management pests is inattention to the quality of work life of the organization's employees. This inattention greatly reduces the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization. Due to the lack of recognition of the organization's managers about the quality of work life, this category has lost its real proportion and dimensions in organizations. Thus, considering the importance of the role of quality of work life in employee performance, the main objective of this research is to investigate the relationship between quality of work life and cultural identity in women head of households. Research Method: This research is descriptive-survey and simple random sampling was used. The statistical population of this study consisted of 109 female heads of households. Participants completed a combination of modified standard questionnaires related to quality of work life and cultural identity. Findings: Pearson correlation coefficient showed that there is a significant relationship between most of the processes of quality of work life and cultural identity, and stepwise regression also showed that among all the variables, three variables of safe environment, capability development, and legalism have a more important relationship with cultural identity. Conclusion: The results show that the greater the commitment and cultural affiliation of female heads of households, the easier it is for female heads of households to tolerate workplace problems and injustices resulting from gender inequalities. Also, increasing cultural affiliation, i.e. respecting and giving importance to the unified culture of the country, leads to greater legalism.
