CHAPTER-1
The emergence of concept of Quality of Work Life (QWL) during 1970s which aims at
integrating the socio-psychological needs of people in the organization, the unique
requirements of a particular technology, the structure and processes of the organization, and
socio-cultural milieu, From the shop floor, the concept of quality of work life spread to other
parts of the organization covering white-collar employees and even managerial personnel.
The aim of Quality of Work Life is to identify and implement alternative programs to improve
the quality of professional as well as personal life of an organization’s employees.
Definitions
Quality of Work Life can be defined as “The Quality of relationship between employees and
the total working environment”.
Quality of Work Life is a process by which an organization responds to employee needs for
developing mechanisms to allow them to share fully in making the decisions that design their
lives at work.
Quality of Work Life Programs Can Be Evaluated On The Basis Of Following Points
a. Fair Compensation and Job Security: The economic interests of people drive them to
work at a job and employee satisfaction depends at least partially, on the compensation
offered. Pay should be fixed on the basis of the work done, responsibilities undertaken,
individual skills, performance and accomplishments. Job security is another factor that is of
concern to employees. Permanent employment provides security to the employees and
improves their Quality of Work Life.
b. Health Is Wealth: Organizations should realize that their true wealth lies in their
employees and so providing a healthy work environment for employees should be their
primary objective.
11
c. Provide Personal and Career Growth Opportunities: An organization should provide
employees with opportunities for personal/professional development and growth and to
prepare them to accept responsibilities at higher levels.
e. Work-Life Balance: Organizations should provide relaxation time for the employees and
offer tips to balance their personal and professional lives. They should not strain employee’s
personal and social life by forcing on them demanding working hours, overtime work,
business travel, untimely transfers etc.
f. Fun at Workplace: This is growing trend adopted by today’s organizations to make their
offices a fun place to work.

Indian Textile Industry is one of the leading textile industries in the world. Though was
predominantly unorganized industry even a few years back, but the scenario started changing
after the economic liberalization of Indian economy in 1991. The opening up of economy
gave the much-needed thrust to the Indian textile industry, which has now successfully
become one of the largest in the world.
13
Indian textile industry largely depends upon the textile manufacturing and export. It also plays
a major role in the economy of the country. India earns about 27% of its total foreign
exchange through textile exports. Further, the textile industry of India also contributes nearly
14% of the total industrial production of the country. It also contributes around 3% to the
GDP of the country. Indian textile industry is also the largest in the country in terms of
employment generation. It not only generates jobs in its own industry, but also opens up
scopes for the other ancillary sectors. Indian textile industry currently generates employment
to more than 35 million people. It is also estimated that, the industry will generate 12 million
new jobs by the year 2010.
Various Categories
Indian textile industry can be divided into several segments, some of which can be listed as
below:
Cotton Textiles.
Silk Textiles.
Woollen Textiles.
Readymade Garments.
Hand-crafted Textiles.
The Industry
Indian textile industry is one of the leading in the world. Currently it is estimated to be around US$ 52
billion and is also projected to be around US$ 115 billion by the year 2012. The current domestic
market of textile in India is expected to be increased to US$ 60 billion by 2012 from the current US$
14
34.6 billion. The textile export of the country was around US$ 19.14 billion in 2006-07, which saw a
stiff rise to reach US$ 22.13 in 2007-08. The share of exports is also expected to increase from 4% to
7% within 2012. Following are area, production and productivity of cotton in India during the last
decade:
Though during the year 2008-09, the Indian industry had to face adverse agro-climatic
conditions, it succeeded in producing 290 lakhs bales of cotton comparing to 315 lakhs bales
last year, yet managed to retain its position as world's second highest cotton producer.

Year
(in lakhs bales of 170 kgs) (in Rs./Crores)
The productivity of cotton which was growing up over the years has decreased in
2008-09.
Cotton exports couldn't pick up owing to disparity in domestic and international cotton
prices.
Imports of cotton were limited to shortage in supply of Extra Long staple cottons.

28
Quality of work life has been differentiated from the broader concept of quality of life. To
some degree, this may be overly simplistic, as Elizur and Shye, (1990) concluded that quality
of work performance is affected by quality of life as well as quality of working life. However,
it will be argued here that the specific attention to work-related aspects of quality of life is
valid.
Various authors and researchers have proposed models of Quality of Work Life which include
a wide range of factors. Selected models are reviewed below.
Hackman and Oldham (1976) drew attention to what they described as psychological growth
needs as relevant to the consideration of Quality of Work Life. Several such needs were
identified:
Skill Variety.
Task Identity.
Task Significance.
Autonomy.
Feedback.
They suggested that such needs have to be addressed if employees are to experience high
quality of work life.
In contrast to such theory based models, Taylor (1979) more pragmatically identified the
essential components of quality of working life as basic extrinsic job factors of wages, hours
and working conditions, and the intrinsic job notions of the nature of the work itself. He
suggested that a number of other aspects could be added, including:
29
Individual Power.
Employee Participation in the Management.
Social Support.
Self Development.
Taylor suggested that relevant quality of working life concepts may vary according to
organization and employee group.
Mirvis and Lawler (1984) suggested that quality of working life was associated with
satisfaction with wages, hours and working conditions, describing the “basic elements of a
good quality of work life” as:
Opportunities Advancement.
Baba and Jamal (1991) listed what they described as typical indicators of quality of working
life, including:
Job Satisfaction.
Job Involvement.
30
Work Role Overload.
Job Stress.
Organizational Commitment.
Turn-Over Intentions.
CHAPTER-3
Data analysis and interpretation is an attempt to organize and summarize in order to increase
results usefulness in such a manner that enables the researcher to relate critical points with the
study objectives. Sometimes the organising and summarising of data require the uses of
statistical measures such as percentages.
In this industrial project percentage is used to make comparison between two or more than
series of data. It is used to describe the relationships. But when the percentages are used, it
becomes very easy to find the relative difference in the distribution.
For this study about the “Quality of Work Life of Employees in Summer India Textiles Pvt
Limited, Tiruchengode”, data are collected by interviewing the employees and by using
questionnaire. The responses are recorded by me and all those data are analysing in this
chapter.
