Abstract :

Changing composition of workforce in organizations and its ever rising aspirations has compelled management everywhere to be more and more concerned about the quality of life at the work place. Changes in economic policies, globalization of the economies of the world and the compulsion of facing competition both in domestic and international markets have been posing a serious challenge to all concerned viz., employees, employers and government. This coupled with ever changing technology and increased access to information has necessitated studying organizations with respect to their productivity, efficiency and quality of service rendered. NLC is one of the biggest public sector enterprises in India. If the public sector organization like NLC fails to respond to the demand for QWL enhancement of non-managerial employees, it will eventually be placed at a competitive disadvantage compared with private sector organizations. However, we have very little information at the grass root level to comprehend what QWL means in the Indian context and what its implications for research? There is no general consensus regarding the meaning of QWL. In organizational studies normally the focus is on high status managerial employees. This study attempt to the perceptions of the sample respondents towards the elements of Quality of Work life, in Neyveli Lignite Corporation.
