INTRODUCTIONQuality of Work Life has always been up in studying organizational
behavior. It is evident from the history that direct studies on Quality of Work Life
started pouring-in after the first paper presentation by Davis in 1972 at Arden
House, US and thereafter, there was a greater pressure on Quality of Work Life
studies as organizations increasingly adopting the philosophy of making the man
happy at work for enhancing their motivation and will to work. In present scenario
of high technology world, it has become a great concern for management as well
as employees. Quality of working life is the most substantial work related
behavioral phenomenon which has positive impact on production, work culture
and effectiveness of the organization. Though lot of work has been done on
Quality of Work Life in different areas, but unfortunately a bit attention has been
made to variables pertaining to the current research endeavor. Therefore, special
attentions of researcher especially have been made on this point.
Payne and Pheysey (1971) in the light of an interesting study conducted on
organizational climate came to conclusion that job satisfaction is an indicative of
positive Quality of Work Life. This was to highlight qualities of employee’s work
life. Job satisfaction is an indicative of positive quality of working life. Hence,
whatever studies will be put forth on job satisfaction would be determining
relationship of some variable as its important determinants.
Pestonjee (1973) reported that supportive organizations are truly related to
workers morale and job-satisfaction. Similarly in a study conducted by Schnider
and Snyder (1975), it was found that climate and satisfaction are positively
correlated and 76 almost the same result was found in a study of Lafollette and
Sims (1975), as they found organizational climate and organizational practice
correlated to jobs. Rajappa (1978) found that organizations with achievement
oriented climate were highly productive.

The dairy industry in India is going through major changes with the liberalization policies of the
government and restructuring of the economy. These have bought greater participation of the

production began to rise. Crossing 30 million tonnes in 1980 and 59 million tones 1992. Today
India ranks as the world second largest milk producer after U.S.

improved animals. Else were in urban areas, dairying was largely left in hands at traditional
producers. Middlemen, debates of private vendors.

may be seen that the milk procurement by the organized sector is presently, a fraction of the
