Introduction: The transition from adolescence to adulthood is understood as a difficult period, characterized by emotional crises and difficulties that affect their occupational performance. It is also in adulthood that there is a greater demand for occupations and responsibilities, such as work. Purpose: To investigate stressors and those related to quality of life in the workplace. Methodology: It is an integrative exploratory review study. Searches were carried in LILACS and SCIELO databases, using the descriptors: “stress”; “stressors”; “work stress”; "quality of life"; "occupational therapy";"Work". Articles were selected in Portuguese, published between 2016 to 2021. Results: 14 articles were screened, 7 of them were excluded. Of the remaining ones, 4 articles described the stressful factors related to work occupation and another 3 related to quality of life in the work environment. As stressors, the following were identified: personal factor; lack of professional development; low salary; excess of work; precariousness of the environment and low resilience. As factors related to quality of life in the workplace, the following were identified: good level of resilience; social conditions; family support; good interpersonal relationships in the work context; job satisfaction; opportunity for growth and better infrastructure. Conclusion: Considering the multifactorial of occupational stress and the presence of risks of physical and mental illness, it is relevant to promote preventive programs and early interventions for employees at individual and collective levels, as well as in the work environment, in order to minimize the negative impacts of stress on health and supporting quality of life.
