Occupational stress is also an individual`s physical ,mental and emotional reactions which are experienced due to working life needs and changes therefore, this research aims to determine the relationship of QWL and occupational stresses of Bu-Ali Sina university staff. The study is of cross sectional-descriptive type carried out in 2012.The research population consisted Bu-Ali Sina university staffs of whom 178 were included in the research as sample. The data were collected through self-expression standard questionnaire of determining QWL and questionnaire of classification of individual`s stress (Holms and Roy).These two questionnaires were distributed among the individuals simultaneously and after they were filled, they were collected. To test the hypotheses, Pearson correlation coefficient and Lambda test were used. The results showed that the level QWL in the population of the study was at the medium and there was a positive significant relationship between QWL and staffs` education (p=0.001) and between QWL and staffs` working experience (p=0.044) .Based on Pearson correlation test, there was obtained a significant relationship between score of QWL mean and mean of individuals` stress. (p=.0.004).In another word, the greater the individuals` QWL, the less they experience stress. Regarding the research findings and confirmation of relationship of QWL and occupational stress ,managers can improve the level of QWL through cooperative programs and team working ,making relationships and attention to personnel`s needs and expectations, job enrichment and staff empowerment to reduce occupational stress and increase efficacy and productivity of human resource.
