INTRODUCTION


2/5

The term refers to the favourableness or unfavourableness of a total job

environment for people. QWL programs are another way in which organisations

recognise their responsibility to develop jobs and working conditions that are

excellent for people as well as for economic health of the organisation. The

elements in a typical QWL program include open communications, equitable reward

systems, a concern for employee job security and satisfying careers and participation in

decision making. Many early QWL efforts focus on job enrichment. In addition to

improving the work system, QWL programs usually emphasise development of

employee skills, the reduction of occupational stress and the development of more co-

operative labour-management relations.

Human resource departments are involved with efforts to improve productivity

through changes in employee relations. QWL means having good supervision, good

working conditions, good pay and benefits and an interesting, challenging and

rewarding job. High QWL is sought through an employee relations philosophy that

encourages the use of QWL efforts, which are systematic attempts by an organisation

to give workers greater opportunities to affect their jobs and their contributions to the

organisations overall effectiveness. That is, a proactive human resource department

finds ways to empower employees so that they draw on their brains and wits, usually

by getting the employees more involved in the decision-making process. Quality of worklife denotes all the organizational inputs which aim at the employee satisfaction and

enhancing organizational effectiveness. By the globalization the modern

employees are experiencing distress. To meet the challenges posed by

present standards, organ izat ional must focus their at tent ion in br in ging

a balance between work l i fe and personal l i fe. The underlying assumption

is that work life balance will ult imately ensure Quality of work life. Sigmund Freud

is considered to be the father figure of Psycho analysis. His prescription for a healthy

person is a combination of Lieben und Arbeiten that is Love and Work. In present

working environment the workers are looking for quality of life as a

superior human endeavour. Such endeavour calls for a trade off between

work life and family life. Today an employee desires work to be more meaningful

and challenging because quality is the acid test. A Quality of work life gives an

opportunity for deep sense of fulfillment.Employees seeks a supportive work

environment that will enable them to balance work with personal interests. Such

balance contributes to superior human existence in ample measure. Quality of work life

provides a more humanized work environment. It attempts to serve the higher order

needs of workers as well as their basic needs. Quality of Work Life indicates that the

work should not have excessively negative conditions. It should not put

workers under undue stress. It should not damage or degrade their

humanness.

5/5

As I have not placed in any company the research would be based on secondary data

i.e. materials from web, books etc.

FACTORS AFFECTING QWL:

Some people consider QWL as the existence of a certain set of original conditions and

practices. They agree that high QWL exists when

Democratic management practices are prevalent in the organisation.

When employees job are enriching.

They are treated with dignity and safe working conditions are present.

Others equate QWL with the impact of working conditions on the employees

well-being.
