INTRODUCTION

Quality of work life 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,

organizational must focus their attention in bringing a balance between work life and

personal life. The underlying assumption is that work life balance will ultimately 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 endeavor. Such endeavor 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 seek 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


8/85

under undue stress. It should not damage or degrade their humanness. It should not be

threatening or unduly dangerous. Finally it should contribute to, or at least leave un paired,

workers abilities to perform in other life roles. Such as citizen, spouse and parent. That is

work should contribute to general social advancement.

Employees in several companies that instituted Quality of work life experienced better

health and greater safety on the job. Other benefits included improved employee

satisfaction, morale, job interest, commitment and involvement ; increased opportunity for

individual growth ; greater sense of ownership and control of the work environment

development of managerial ability for circle leaders, improved communication in the

organization and greater understanding and respect between management and workers.

The term Quality of work life has been applied to a wide variety of organizational

improvement efforts. The common elements seem to be,has good man indicates, an

attempt to restructure multiple dimensions of the organizational and to institute a

mechanism which introduces and sustains changes overtime . Aspects of the change

mechanism are usually an increase in problem solving between the union and management

Responsiveness to employee concerns. In every organization, people and their behaviour

assumes vital role in determining the performance and effectiveness . while many studies

concentrated on physical and financial performance of organization. Studies on behavioural

aspects seems to be inadequate. So, the attempts must to understand the human side of the

enterprise.


9/85

In the present scenario, where the world is moving from traditionalisation to

modernization, computerization and globalization there is an intense competition. The

situations are becoming more complex and the modern employees are experiencing

distress. To meet the challenges posed by present standards organization must focus their

attention in bringing a balance between work and family life.

The Quality of work life movement provides a value frame work and a philosophy which

has a long term implication for the human development and enrichment. It tries to balance

both the work and family life. Hence integrated approach with regard to Quality of work

life is required for the success of an individual and an organization. This underlines the

necessity of searching studies on the nature of human relations and the problems of human

relations and the problems of human behaviour in the organization and suggest measures to

cope with the problems. Hence, an in depth on aspects like Quality of work life can throw

light on many non-identified aspects of human behaviour which may help in understanding

the issues involved and improving the overall performance of these organizations. There it

is found that there is need to study in greater detail about the topic.

12/85

Quality of work life

Quality of work life refers to favorable or ungovernableness of the job environment for

people .The basic purpose is to develop jobs and working conditions that are excellent

for people as well as for the organization.

Quality of work life includes

Walton proposed eight conceptual categories that together make up the quality of work life

Adequate and fair compensation

Safe and healthy working conditions

Immediate opportunity to use and develop human capacities

Social integration in the work organization

Constitutionalisation

Work and total life space

Social relevance of work life

Promotion and career planning


13/85

Adequate and fair compensation

This refers to against to just and fair balance between efforts and reward. The

compensation helps in manufacturing helps in maintaining a socially desirable standard of

life.In India such labour legislations are payment of wages act, 1936 and minimum wages

act, 1948 ensure adequate and fair compensation to the employees.

Safe and healthy working conditions

In order to improve quality of work life the work environment should be free from hazards

or other factors determined to healthy and safety of the employees in the work place in

India is ensured in the factories act, 1948, which lies down minimum standards of

protection from machine and other hazards (noise, pollution, gases etc..) at the place of

work.

Immediate Opportunities to use and Develop Human Capacities

The work today has become repetitive and fragmented. Quality of work life can be

improved if the job allows sufficient autonomy and control, uses a wide range of skills and

abilities, provides immediate feed back to workers to take corrective action is seen as a

total activity and provides opportunity to plan, implement by himself.

Social integration in the work organization


14/85

One of the effectiveness of quality of work life is to generate satisfying identity with the

organization and develop a feeling as self esteem. The variables that inculcate these are

absence of hierarchical status, opportunity for upward mobility, openness and trust, a sense

of community feeling on the job and freedom from prejudice based on sex, caste, race,

creed and religion.

Constitutionalisation in the work organization

Constitution guarantees as right to personnel privacy, free speech, equitable treatment and

governance by the Rule of Law are necessary to upload to improve quality of work life

Work and the Total life Space

The demand of the work, like late hours, frequent travel, quick transfer are both

psychologically and socially very costly to the employee and his family such phenomena

Accruing o a regular basis necessarily depress the quality of work life.

Social relevance of work life

The organization lack of concern for social causes like waste disposal, low quality product,

over-aggressive marketing. Employment practices make workers depreciate the value of

their work and career, which in turn affects their self-esteem. The social responsibility of

the organization is an important determinant of quality of work life. The basic concept

underlying the quality of work life is Humanization of Work. It involves basically the


15/85

development of an environment of work that stimulates the creative abilities of the workers

,generate co operation and interest in self growth.

Promotion and Career Planning

Promotion

A promotion takes place when an employee moves to a position higher than the one firmly

occupied .His/Her responsibility, status and pay also increases. Promotions are of two

types.

1. Vertical promotions:- under which the employees are promoted from one rank to

the next higher rank in the same department.

2. Horizontal promotions:- under which employees may be promoted to higher ranks

on the other departments.

The advantages of having promotion schemes

They provide an opportunity to the present employees to move into jobs that

provide greater satisfaction and prestige.


16/85

They generate within on organization motivational, conditions for better work

performance and desired behaviour of all its members.

Finally, they save as an orderly, logical and prompt source of recruitment for

management to fill vacancies as they arise.

Career Planning

If an organization wants to retain its employees it must satisfy their aspirations for growth

and development of advancement in their career .A career plan is a blue print in which the

entire career of employees is mapped out from the point of their entry in to the point of

their retirement from the organization. Career planning is mostly done for supervisory and

managerial positions.

Career planning is an integral part of manpower planning.

ADVANTAGES OF CAREER PLANNING

1. It motivates employees to avail of the training & development facilities. They are

convinced that promotions will not fall in their laps merely by luck or through

connection.

2. It increases employees loyalty to the organization. By this they can easily integrate

their goals with organization goals.

3. It encourages employees to remain in the organization. By this the labour turnover

is reduced.

4. It creates organizations better image in the employment market which helps

organization to attract competent people.


17/85

5. It contributes to manpower planning as well as to organizational development and

effective achievements of corporate goal.

The basic concept underlying the Quality of work life is what has come to be known as

humanization of work. It involves basically the development of an environment of

work that simulates the creative abilities of the workers generates co-operation and

interest in self growth.

HERRICK AND MACCOBY (1975) have identified four basic principles which

Summaries humanization of work.

These principles are

1. The principle of security:-

Humanization of work implies freedom from anxiety, fear and the loss of future

employment. The working conditions should be safe and there should be no fear of

economic want. These pre-conditions will guarantee at most development of skills and

ideas.

2. The principle of Quality:-

The equity principle requires that there is a just way of revaluating the conditions of

an employee. Another aspect of quality refers to paying for knowledge and skills to

carry out the task. If work has to be humanized equity would also require sharing in the

profits of the organization according to the individual or group contribution.

3. The principle of individual:-


18/85

Individual refers to the work environment in which employees are encouraged to

develop themselves to their almost competence , a system of work that facilitates

blossoming of individual potential. A basic precondition for this is the availability of

freedom and autonomy in deciding their own pace as activity and design of operations.

4. The principle of democracy:-

Meaningful participation in decision-making also guarantees the Right of citizenship.

Quality of work life is a complex and multifaced concept implying a concern for the

members of an organization irrespective of the level the belong to. It includes job

factors like wages and hours of work and also the nature of work itself. With the

encouragement of international labour organization & achieve lead taken by National of

labour, Delhi, the Quality of work life as a movement has started attracting the attention of

both academicians as well as practioners in India.

In India, the concept of Quality of work life seems to manifest itself in a variety

of operational Systems like workers participation, job enrichment, Quality Circle etc.

Quality of work life is a broader concept. By time to time that Quality of work life

includes Some other factors in it.

JOB DESIGN

Job design include job enlargement, job rotation & job enrichment

a. Job enlargement:-

Job enlargement as a concept deals with expansion of the job contents by


19/85

allowing Employees inspect their work , affect minor repairs on the work and

equipment and select their own work methods or set-ups. These refers as to

vertical enlargement. Another is horizontal enlargement under this scheme one

simply adds a larger numbers of some what similar tasks to the present job.

b. Job rotation:-

It refers to systematically moving employee from one job to another. From the point

of view of an organization job rotation helps develop a comman culture because of

wide and common exposure and at the same time infuses fresh-blood in the task.

c. Job enrichment:-

It refers to the process of making jobs more interesting and satisfying, adding to that

sense of achievement, increasing responsibility and providing opportunities for

advancement and growth.

JOB SATISFACTION

The attitude of an individual is his general back ground by feeling against which he views

many factual events, men and things. A specific subset of this general back ground

feeling against which the individual appraises the various dimensions of his job is called

job satisfaction. Some dimensions are nature of work ,supervisor, pay, promotion and co-

workers.


20/85

There are Three major theories of job satisfaction

a) Hertzbergs motivation:- hygiene theory

b) Need fulfillment theory and

c) Social reference-group theory

In summary the three theories respectively tell us that:-

Job satisfaction is a function of or is positively related to the degree to which

ones personnel needs fulfilled in the job satisfaction; and

Job satisfaction is a function or is positively related to the degree which the

characteristics of the job meet with approval and the desires of the group to

which the individual looks for guidance in evaluating the world and defining

social reality.

AUTONOMOUS WORK TEAMS

An autonomous work team is one which can plan, regulate and control its own work world.

The management only specifies the goals that too in collaboration with the team. The team

organizes the contents and structure of its job, evaluates its own performance, establishes

its speed and chooses its production method. It makes its own internal distribution of tasks

and decides its own membership.Autonomous team approach increases satisfaction and

reduces turnover and absenteeism.
