Four tools were used to collect data namely: socio-demographic data sheet, quality of nurses' work life, organizational culture questionnaire, and turnover intention questionnaire. Results: illustrated that nurses’ quality of work life scores was highly significant in relation to the department, marital status, organizational culture score, and turnover intention score. Conclusion: This study contributed to understanding the relationships between quality of nurses work life and organizational culture that will lead to turnover intention among the study sample of hospital nurses and found a positive correlation between quality of nurses work life and organizational culture with highly statistically significant relation and between quality of nurses work life and turnover intention .
