Results: Quality of working life affects mental health with regression coefficient of- 0.14. Among the obvious components of mental health and quality of working life, belief in the rule of law with a coefficient of 1.90 and depression symptoms by a coefficient of 1.37 had respectively the greatest impact in calculation of mental health and quality of working life.
