QUALITY OF WORK LIFE AND ITS EFFECTIVENESS ON EMPLOYEE JOB PERFORMANCE
Quality of Work Life (QWL) has emerged as a critical determinant of employee satisfaction, motivation, and organizational productivity. This article examines the relationship between QWL dimensions —such as work environment, compensation, work -life balance, job security, participation in decision -making, and career development —and their impact on employee job performance. Drawing upon empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, the article demonstrates that organizations investing in QWL initiatives experi ence higher employee engagement, reduced turnover, improved task performance, and enhanced organizational citizenship behavior. The article concludes with practical recommendations for HR practitioners and organizational leaders to design and implement eff ective QWL strategies.
