The term refers to the favourableness or unfavourableness of a total job enviornment for people.

The elements in a typical quality of work life program include – open communications , equitable reward systems, a concern for employee job security and satisfying carrers and participation in decision making. Many early quality of work life efforts focus on job enrichment. In addition to improving the work system, quality of work life programs usually emphasise development of employee skills, the reduction of occupational stress and the development of more cooperative labour – management relations.
