The aim of the present study was to identify the contextual and intervening factors of nurses' quality of work life to present a model. This study was applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of method, using the grounded theory approach. The research setting in the qualitative phase included all nurses working in the teaching hospitals of Mashhad, with a total population of 971 individuals. The sampling method was theoretical sampling, and data collection continued until data saturation was reached, which occurred with 20 participants. Data were collected using in-depth and unstructured interviews. Data analysis was conducted through the categorization of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. Overall, the results indicated that the contextual factors included (group formation, cultural development, and investment opportunities), while the intervening factors included (environmental influences, intra-organizational influences, workload, and lack of resilience), all of which played a significant role in nurses' quality of work life.
