Questionnaires were used to collect data were Adult ADHD Rating Scale (Barkley, 2011), Job Performance (Paterson, 1970), Quality of Life ( Sheboune & Ware, 1992). The proposed model was evaluated using structural equation modeling using AMOS and SPSS software version 22. The finding showed that the final model has suitable fitness to research data. Direct effect of deficit attention and job performance, attention deficit and life quality, impulsivity and life quality, life quality and performance job were significant (p<0.01).
