In the present study following the survey design, questionnaire was used for data collection. The present study consisted of 400 working women wherein 193 (48.3%) were married and 207 (51.7%) were unmarried females. The women were selected from 6 different designations including teachers, doctors, nurses, bankers, lawyers and office assistants. The study was conducted in different areas of KPK. Informed consent was taken from participants. The data was analyzed on SPSS, and results were computed by applying t-test and correlation and hierarchical regression. The results show that there is significant relationship among premenstrual dysphoria, quality of life and job performance.
