The purpose of the current study was to investigate the level of quality of work life QOWL of Jordanian special education teachers. Participants of the study were 133 special education teachers. Results showed that special education teachers cited average level of QOWL. Furthermore, teachers rated administrators' and colleagues' respect as the best item of QOWL. Whereas, teachers rated participation in decision making in school as the lowest item of QOWL scale.
