This study aims to conceptualise and develop an instrument measures teacher quality of work life based on four main theories, namely (1) socio-technical systems theory, (2) two factor Herzberg theory, (3) organisation management theory, including structure and human relationship theories, and (4) psychological interactive theory. Based on these theories, the construct of teacher quality of work life has been conceptualised to have four main dimensions, namely (1) psychological need, (2) social need, (3) political need, and (4) economical need. A total of 1,080 school teachers were selected from 30 primary schools in Penang and Kedah and measured with more 44 items. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed to examine the reliability and validity of the instrument measures teacher quality of work life using IBM SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0 computer software. Findings revealed that 12 out of 32 items need to be excluded because of its poor psychometric properties.  The remaining 20 items that measure these four main dimensions of teacher quality of work life have shown satisfactory construct validity with the values of goodness-of-fit indices lie within the proposed acceptable range. Political need contributed the highest variance to explain teachers’ quality of work life compared to other dimensions. Implications and suggestions for future studies were presented.
