Impact of Quality of Work Life on Job Satisfaction: An Empirical Study on Nurses of Government Hospital in Chandigarh (India)

Abstract

Quality of Work Life (QWL) has become one of the most prominent issues these days in every organisation. Employees are the force that is behind every successful organisation. No organisation can become successful with technology only because for the use of technology also, organisations need to have strong work force. It is imperative in every Hospital to give best environment to their workers including all financial and non financial incentives so that they can retain them for the longer period and for the achievement of the organisational goals. The quality of work life 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. This study is about the impact of QWL on Job Satisfaction among Nurses of a Government Hospital
