This research was a quantitative type of research using an observational analytic. The population of this research was all health center personnel in East Java with a minimum number of 267 respondents. The independent variable in this study is QWL and the dependent variable is the commitment of health workers. Data collection was done by distributing an online question-naire. The results of this study indicated that the health workers of Puskesmas in East Java had a high commitment in handling COVID-19 and their QWL was sufficient. The ordinal regression test showed that QWL affected the commitment of Puskesmas health workers. The higher the perception of the quality of work life of health workers at Puskesmas in East Java, the higher the commitment they have to handle COVID-19.
