Abstract
Working in financial institutions and the capital market is among the most stressful and sensitive occupations in the world. Considering the critical role of human resources in the performance and events of the capital market, this study aims to develop a model of quality of work life (QWL) based on reducing human resource risks in capital market organizations. The research was conducted using a descriptive–survey method. The statistical population consisted of 128 employees from firms active in the capital market. Data were collected using three questionnaires, all of which were validated in terms of reliability and validity. Data analysis was performed through confirmatory factor analysis and path modeling using structural equation modeling (SEM) via SPSS and Smart PLS software. The findings indicate an inverse and significant relationship between QWL and human resource risks. Furthermore, results confirm that all identified QWL factors contribute to reducing at least one type of human resource risk within the capital market.
