Data search was conducted on papers published before September 2020, and RISS, NDSL, and KISS were used for the search. @*Results@#Fourteen studies were selected for analysis. Five factors affecting the mental health-related quality of life of workers were found. Mental and physical health status, job stress, working environment, health behaviors, and other personal and socio-economic characteristics were significant influencing factors. @*Conclusion@#Findings from the review suggest the necessity of developing a customized intervention program to improve the mental health-related quality of life of workers.
