This study was conducted to determine the quality of work-life among lecturers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The process involved in reviewing relevant literature from the PubMed and Google Scholar databases were based on the criteria that they are written in English, published in 2020, and peer-reviewed. This was achieved using Bool- ean search with “lecturer or academic or nurse lecturer AND e-learning or online learning or web-based learning or remote learning or distance learning related with the quality of work-life”. The electronic searches identified 53 citations and 5 retained citations. The results showed online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic caused a de- cline in the quality of work-life among lecturers and the causative factors were found to include poor psychological well-being, stress on IT usage, and reduced work-life balance.
