Today's organizations need to be more flexible so that they are equipped to develop their workforce and enjoy their commitment. Therefore, organizations are required to adopt a strategy to improve the employees ‘quality of work life ’(QWL) to satisfy both the organizational objectives and employee needs. The term (QWL) refers to the favorableness or unfavourableness of a total job environment for people. QWL programs are another way in which organizations recognize their responsibility to develop jobs and working conditions that are excellent for people as well as for economic health of the organization. The elements in a typical QWL program include-open communications, equitable reward systems, a concern for employee job security and satisfying careers and participation in decision making. 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.
