As tools for collecting data, demographic check list, and LEIPAD elderly quality of life questionnaire were used. Statistical analyses performed by SPSS. T-test, one way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to data analysis.

Results: We found no statistically significant association between two groups in terms of total quality of life (P= 0.103). There were no significant differences between groups in all dimensions of quality of life except subjective and mental function (P = 0.005). There was significant statistical correlation between elderly quality of life and their age, marital status, educational status and sex (P < 0.05) but not between quality of life and their housing and income (P > 0.05).

Conclusion: In this study, we found no any statistically significant difference between pensioners' quality of life in terms of organization type.

Participation in decision making, with a correlation coefficient of 0.858 (P-value=0.002) showed the highest correlation with the quality work life from the statistical point of view, and materialistic privileges with a correlation coefficient of 0.358 (P-value=0.310) showed no correlation (P-value>0.05). On the other hand, given the averages obtained for productivity components, the component of job identification with an average of 4.4 was at the top and performance feedback with an average of 2.3 at the lowest point.
