A Study on Quality of Work Life in Educational Institutions

Quality of work life (QWL) is viewed as an alternative to the control approach of managing
people. The QWL approach considers people as an 'asset' to the organization rather than as
costs'. It believes that people perform better when they are allowed to participate in managing
their work and make decisions. This approach motivates people by satisfying not only their
economic needs but also their social and psychological ones. To satisfy the new generation
workforce, organizations need to concentrate on job designs and organization of work. Further,
today's workforce is realizing the importance of relationships and is trying to strike a balance
between career and personal
This research study highlights the quality of work life of University teachers under various
dimensions. New Challenges can be faced with employees commitment and involvement in
achieving organizational goals. This study helps the university teachers to know the level of
perception towards QWL and to enhance the same by the educational administrators. Quality
of Work Life is the essential concept of favorable situations in a working environment. The
Quality of Work Life facilitates employees training opportunities, job satisfaction and working
conditions. A better Quality of Work Life improves the growth of the employees along with the
organization growth.
