Quality of Work Life and Its Impact on Women Workers in Manufacturing Companies

Quality of Work Life (QWL) is an important concept in Human Resource Management that focuses on improving employees’ working conditions and overall well-being. The current study focuses on the concept of Quality of Work Life and its impact on women workers in the manufacturing industry. The primary objective of the study is to determine the factors that affect the quality of life at work, including working environment, wages, job security, safety, work-life balance, and organizational support, and their impact on job satisfaction. The descriptive research approach was used in the study. Data were collected using primary sources in which 100 working women responded to a structured questionnaire that consisted of items on the Likert scale of five points. Percentage and frequency analyses were conducted. Based on the results obtained from the study, it can be seen that the participants are mostly satisfied with the jobs that they do and that the place where they work is secure and favorable. Nevertheless, some aspects of employees’ life were also observed to be present, namely the effect of the job on their physical condition, the inability to control work hours, and a considerable level of mental stress. It is therefore concluded that despite all positive aspects, there is also room for improvement.
