Topic: Quality of work life in a Manufacturing Industry
Quality of Life is the extent of relationships between individuals and organizational factors that exists in the working environment. Quality of work life is the extent to which workers can satisfy important personal needs through their experiences in the organization. It is focusing strongly on providing a work environment conducive to satisfy individual needs. It is assumed that if employees have more positive attitudes about the organization and their productivity increases, everything else being equal, the organization should be more effective.
The present study will be conducted to examine the work related factors and demographic factors having relationship with the perception of quality of work life and to explore the relationship between quality of work and quality of life in a Manufacturing Industry located at Mysore.
The work related factors are combined in six categories: * Working environment * Welfare measures * Safety measures * Supervision * Workers Participation in decision making process * Intercommunication
INTRODUCTION:
Quality of life at work - should management care?
Quality of life is a term we are hearing a great deal about at present. It has become an issue of concern in today's world and in its broadest context is even on the Government's agenda, one of the indicators being whether the number of sparrows in the environment is increasing or decreasing!
The idea of quality of life is even being extended to the workplace, but what does it mean and should senior managers - focused on the drive to reduce costs - actually care? And are there any good reasons to have a strategy to improve it? As our research - and that of others in the field - has clearly demonstrated, there are commercially sound reasons to put quality of life at work on the agenda - especially in the context of outsourcing.
The drive to reduce costs - and quality of life at work
