CHAPTER-I
INTRODUCTION OF THE
STUDY
[3]
INTRODUCTION
The project was undergone in WINTEK TECHNOLOGY INDIA PVT LTD
for a period of one month. Theoretical knowledge is insufficient to cope up with the
modern functioning of the companies. So in order to gain practical knowledge, the
project was done at WINTEK TECHNOLOGTY INDIA PVT LTD., CHENNAI on
the topic “A STUDY ON QUALITY OF WORK LIFE OF EMPLOYEES IN
WINTEK TECHNOLOGY”.
Quality of work life (QWL) is viewed as an alternative to the control

approach of managing people. The QWL 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. To satisfy the new generation workforce,
organizations need to concentrate on job designs and organization of work. Further,
today's workforce is realizing the importance of relationships and is trying to strike a
balance between career and personal lives.
Successful organizations support and provide facilities to their people to help

them to balance the scales. In this process, organizations are coming up with new
and innovative ideas to improve the quality of work and quality of work life of every
individual in the organization. Various programs like flex time, alternative work
schedules, compressed work weeks, telecommuting etc., are being adopted by these
organizations.
Technological advances further help organizations to implement these

programs successfully. Organizations are enjoying the fruits of implementing QWL
programs in the form of increased productivity, and an efficient, satisfied, and
committed workforce which aims to achieve organizational objectives. The future
work world will also have more women entrepreneurs and they will encourage and
adopt QWL programs.
[4]
It is almost impossible today to pick up a newspaper of news-magazine
without finding a reference to quality of work/working life. In the search for
improved productivity, manager and executives alike are discovering the important
contribution of QWL. QWL entails the design of work systems that enhance the
working life experiences of organizational members, thereby improving
commitment to and motivation for achieving organizational goals. Most, often, this
has been implemented through the design of jobs that afford workers more direct
control over their immediate work environment.
The success of any organization is highly dependent on how it attracts,

recruits, motivates, and retains its workforce. 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.
Regular assessment of Quality of Working Life can potentially provide

organizations with important information about the welfare of their employees, such
as job satisfaction, general well-being, work-related stress and the home-work
interface. Studies in the UK University sector have shown a valid measure of
Quality of Working Life exist and can be used as a basis for effective interventions.
This particular topic is chosen as Quality of work life is great importance in

any organization, especially manufacturing organizations because of several stress
situations they are facing and it influences the growth of the individual and that of
the organization. In this project work, it is proposed to investigate the various quality
of work life programmes provided to the employees and their satisfaction.

an economy achieve a rapid pace of economic growth.
 The manufacturing sector helps many other sectors in the growth process of
the economy including the product knowledge.
[9]
OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE:
‘Planning’ is the key term for production system. As it is defined as the back
bone for organizational profit and loss. Sales team will provide the execution view
( EV ) to planning team. As it contains the overall demand for a year. Planning needs
to give their supportability for 6 weeks. The demand fluctuates according to the
customer requirement. The Planning motto is to satisfy the sales according to the
production capacity.
‘Material controlling’ section depends on the production planning team plan.

Demand visibility (DV) will be prepared by them to supplier team. The purchase
team will be responsible to deliver the materials on time from supplier end. MCS
department will be tracking the DV and update to the planner regarding the arrival
of the materials. Their foremost work is to satisfy the planning team by providing
the materials on time.
‘Purchase’ (Buyer) will track along the logistics team and deliver the
materials within the given lead time. “Lead time is defined as the time taken to bring
the products from the produced area to the supplier”. As they are responsible for
incoming materials to the organization. Excess material will be tracked every month
and highlighted to respective head of the department.
‘Stores or Warehousing’ is the place to keep the materials safe. The

inventory wise arrangement is encouraged in this area. Materials will be kept split
up and they will follow their own procedures as FIFO, LIFO.
Inventory controlling plays a vital role in an organization. The incoming

inputs, work in progress and output ready should all get equalized. The input should
be matched with the output including scrap.
[10]
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT:
 MWFG - Finished Goods ( W/H ), ready to shipment.

 KMFG - FG in shop floor.
 MWRE - Materials in W/H.
 KM01 - Work In Progress.
 MWPA – Consumption materials.
FUNCTIONS:
As constantly stated in this text, production systems, whether the inputs are
interdependent. As such the activities and economic entities within the network of
exchange relationships and any other coordinating mechanisms are complex.
Because of this, analysts usually look at the activities of organization, coordination
and performance evaluation within a subsystem or single commodity Transaction
costs should also be included.
These primarily relate to costs associated with buying, selling and

transferring ownership of goods and services, and are very wide ranging. These
costs include information, negotiating contracts, the actual costs of transferring
goods, services, money and ownership rights, costs of monitoring trade conditions
and enforcing trading terms

[16]
SAP SYSTEM - 640 Beta IN WINTEK TECHNOLOGY:
SAP systems experienced rapid growth in the 1990s because the year 2000
problem and introduction of the Euro disrupted legacy systems. Many companies
took this opportunity to replace such systems with SAP.
SAP systems initially focused on automating back office functions that did
not directly affect customers and the general public. Front office functions such as
customer relationship management (CRM) dealt directly with customers, ore–
business systems such as e–commerce, e–government, e–telecom, and e–finance, or
supplier relationship management (SRM) became integrated later, when the Internet
simplified communicating with external parties.
"SAP" was coined in the early 2000s. It describes web–based software that
allows both employees and partners (such as suppliers and customers) real–time
access to the systems. The role of SAP expands from the resource optimization and
transaction processing of traditional SAP to leveraging the information involving
those resources in the enterprise’s efforts to collaborate with other enterprises, not
just to conduct e-commerce buying and selling. Compared to the first generation
SAP, SAP II is said to be more flexible rather than confining the capabilities of the
SAP system within the organization, it is designed to go beyond the corporate walls
and interact with other systems.
CHARACTERISTICS:
SAP is the advanced version which has the following characteristics:
 An integrated system that operates in real time (or next to real time),
without relying on periodic updates.
 A common database, which supports all applications.
 A consistent look and feel throughout each module.
 Installation of the system without elaborate application/data integration
by the Information Technology (IT) department.
 Easy to use i.e.( User friendly)

manufacturing solutions with space-saving product integration: 3D direct print and
cosmetic Laser Direct Structuring (LDS).WINTEK TECHNOLOGY’s new antenna
manufacturing technologies.
3D direct print and cosmetic LDS, have a wide range of benefits for both
designer and end user: better performance, lower costs due to the simplified
production process, flexibility in material selection and paintings, enhanced
appearance and slimmer design – with integration that allows more space for other
functionalities.
By combining the highest-quality materials and the latest technologies, we

create truly innovative solutions. We find the perfect balance of cost, logistics, form,
features, and end-user benefits. From planning, conception, and designing to
manufacturing, assembly, and testing – we do it all. From one component to the
whole package, we tailor our service to your needs.
[22]
A COST-SAVING ALTERNATIVE TO LDS: INTEGRATED 3D DIRECT
PRINT ANTENNAS:
3D direct printing boasts a simplified manufacturing process and design

flexibility, with mechanical antenna integration into a chassis or cover. Compared to
LDS technology, 3D Direct Print can offer significant cost down, actual numbers
depending on the size and shape of the product.
Among the many advantages this technology brings is its environmental

friendliness, due to the avoidance of nickel and plating processes. This significantly
lowers the cost by shortening the supply chain and the amount of factory space
needed, making 3D direct printing a highly flexible manufacturing alternative to
LDS antennas.
In this 3D antenna solution, highly conductive silver is printed directly onto

structural or cosmetic product surfaces in an antenna pattern. The method shows
good adhesion and conductivity. The technology will be available for mass
production from WINTEK TECHNOLOGY from March 2013.
[23]
AN LDS ANTENNA ON THE OUTER SURFACE OF A PRODUCT SAVES A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SPACE:
Cosmetic LDS gives better antenna performance and enables slim design
through maximum mechanical integration. LDS patterns are placed directly on the
outer surface of a device and then leveled with additional plating.
The antenna surface can be painted along with the rest of the product using a
range of paints, from soft touch to the highest gloss. The first mass production
shipments are now being made from WINTEK TECHNOLOGY.
Lite-On Young Fast (LOYF) provides a brand-new solution of Low-cost

Single-layer Capacitive Touch Panel (CTP) with multi-touch technology, supporting
touch screens of up to 4.3 inches. As a true one-layer solution with no shielding
layer, it is an economical choice for applications that require thinner, lighter, and
more cost-effective handset touch modules.
[24]
LITE-ON YOUNG FAST (LOYF):
LOYF Single-layer CTP with multi-touch technology is the perfect solution

to the technical challenge of achieving high functionality and mechanical strength
while reducing a touch module’s thickness and weight, especially when aiming to
keep or lower the current price level and maintain favored features. Material
selection is the key point where LOYF utilizes materials, including ITO film, nano-
silver film, and metal mesh film, to achieve thinner modules, much lower costs, and
ultra-low resistance capabilities, overcoming the challenges of sensor design with an
advanced manufacturing process.
The new technology integrates multiple functions within one layer of ITO
PET, but keeps the same good user experience and functions in the same way as
other multi-touch modules. It is suitable for both glass and PMMA screens, and
combines touch application design flexibility with nano-silver or metal mesh
sensors.
From the material science to the semiconductors, this Single-layer ITO PET
with multi-touch solution is an industry breakthrough. It is now available for mass
production from LOYF Huizhou plant, with additional developments in nano-silver
and metal mesh film to be launched in 2013.

PRESENT CONDITION OF SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE

ORGANIZATION:
KEYPAD MANUFACTURER:
SILICON RUBBER KEYPADS:
Silicon Rubber keypads are used extensively in both consumer and

industrial electronic products as a low cost and reliable switching solution. The
technology uses the compression molding properties of silicone rubber to which
upon depression of the switch the webbing uniformly deforms to produce a
tactile response. When pressure is removed from the switch the webbing returns
to its neutral position with positive feedback.
In order to make an electronic switch a carbon or gold pill is placed on
the base of the switch center which contacts onto a Printed Circuit Board when
the web has been deformed.
[26]
RUBBER KEYPAD DESIGN:
Rubber keypads can be designed so that they achieve a positive tactile

response when the operator depresses the keypad.
To achieve good tactile feel that is inherent in the rubber keypad the
keypad should have at least .060" of travel and should have an actuation force
ofbetween50and170grams.
As an alternative, a tactile layer can be incorporated in between the
rubber keypad and the circuitry layer, which will enable a good tactile feel even
with small keys and minimal travel distances.
APPLICATION GUIDE:
Our Application Guide is an aid in the design and development of

silicone keypads and specialty products.
Silicone keypads are used in a wide range of applications including
medical, industrial, and instrumentation and communications equipment.
CAPABILITIES:
Capabilities include all molding processes, laser etching, in house graphics,

and custom finishes offering an economical quality solution for your design
requirements.
We provide an excellent choice for even the most stringent design
specifications. Patented molded processes allow light pipes and windows to be
molded as an integral part of the keypad during manufacturing, making them a
single sealed component.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The silicone rubber keypad manufacturing process, including, making
the tool, adding colors, and screen printing. All our manufactured silicone
rubber keypads go through intensive testing and quality.
[27]
Laser Etched Keypads:
The legends are laser etched for precise lighting. The perfect
way to illuminate the graphics or legends while the custom
keypad remains on or off.
Plastic Keycaps and Key trees:
Plastic Keycaps with a conductive rubber keypad base. These
can be molded in many shapes and contours to enhance
appearance.
In-Mold Graphics:
Placed over silicone rubber keypad supports or mounted over
metal domes. Available in any shape. In-Mold Graphics are used
in cellular phone and other consumer and automotive products.
Dual Durometer Keypads:
Hard durometer silicone rubber molded key tops to simulate
plastic is a popular feature, used to avoid the cost of plastic
molds in conductive rubber keypads.
Epoxy Keypads
Epoxy crown is applied to the key tops. Hard epoxy on custom
keypads is a very popular way to have hard tops economically on
most styles of silicone rubber keypads.
3D & Concave Key Tops
Keys appear more robust with rich 3D enhancements. Custom
keypads with these features are becoming more popular with
high end medical instrumentation.
[28]
SAP SYSTEM – 640 BETA:
A 40-year history of innovation:

In 1972, five entrepreneurs had a vision for the business potential of
technology. With one customer and a handful of employees, SAP set out on a path
that would not only transform the world of information technology, but also forever
alter the way companies do business.
Forty years and 197,000 customers stronger, we’re just getting started. Building on a
track record of innovation and a vision proven true throughout every economic and
IT shift, now more than ever, SAP is fueled by the pioneering spirit that inspired its
founders to continually transform the IT industry.
SAP SYSTEM IS RTO:
 “Real time” data processing can help bring people closer to business
intelligence.
 A dedication “to innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit” enable

SAP.
SAP is the world leader in enterprise applications in terms of software and

software-related service revenue. Based on market capitalization, we are the world’s
third largest independent software manufacturer.
More than 1,97,000 customers in 120+ countries.
More than 55,765 employees in 120+ countries.
Annual revenue ( IFRS ) of $ 14.23 billion.
[29]
SAP GLOBAL:
SAP is the world's largest business software company and the third-highest
revenue independent software provider (as of 2007).[12]It operates in four geographic
regions: EMEA (Europe, MiddleEast, Africa), America (UnitedStates and Canada),
LAC (Latin America and Caribbean), and APJ (Asia Pacific and Japan), which
represents Japan, Korea, Australia and New Zealand, India,Greater China, and
Southeast Asian countries. In addition, SAP operates a network of 115 subsidiaries,
and has R&D (Research & Development) facilities around the globe in Germany,
India, US, Canada, France, Brazil, Turkey,
China, Hungary, Israel, Ireland andBulgaria.
SAP focuses on six industry sectors: process industries, discrete industries,

consumer industries, service industries, financial services, and public services.[13] It
offers more than 25 industry solution portfolios for large enterprises[14] and more than
550 micro-vertical solutions for midsize companies and small businesses.[15]
SAP ERP is one of five enterprise applications in SAP's Business Suite. The other
four applications are:
 Customer Relationship Management (CRM) – helps companies acquire and

retain customers, gain marketing and customer insight
 Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) – helps manufacturers with product-
related information
 Supply Chain Management (SCM) – helps companies with the process of
resource in manufacturing and service processes
 Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) – enables companies to procure
from suppliers
Other major product offerings include: the Net Weaver platform, Governance,
Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions, Duet (joint offering with Microsoft),
Performance Management solutions and RFID. SAP offers service-oriented
architecture capabilities (calling it Enterprise SOA) in the form of web services that
are wrapped around its applications.
[30]
EXTENSIONS:
ERP systems can be extended with third–party software. ERP vendors

typically provide access to data and functionality through published interfaces.
Extensions offer features such as:
 archiving, reporting and republishing;

 capturing transactional data, e.g. using scanners, tills or RFID
 access to specialized data/capabilities, such as syndicated marketing
data and associated trend analytics.
 advanced planning and scheduling (APS)
 managing resources, facilities and transmission in real-time
CUSTOMIZATION:
SAP systems are theoretically based on industry best practices and are
intended to be deployed "as is". SAP vendors do offer customers configuration
options that allow organizations to incorporate their own business rules but there are
often functionality gaps remaining even after the configuration is complete. SAP
customers have several options to reconcile functionality gaps, each with their own
pros/cons.
Key differences between customization and configuration include:
 Customization is always optional, whereas the software must always

be configured before use (e.g., setting up cost/profit center structures,
organisational trees, purchase approval rules, etc.)
 The software was designed to handle various configurations, and
behaves predictably in any allowed configuration.
 The effect of configuration changes on system behavior and
performance is predictable and is the responsibility of the SAP
vendor. The effect of customization is less predictable, is the
customer's responsibility and increases testing activities.
[31]
Customization Advantages:
 Improves user acceptance

 Offers the potential to obtain competitive advantage vis-à-vis
companies using only standard features.
Customization Disadvantages:
 Increases time and resources required to both implement and

maintain.
 Inhibits seamless communication between suppliers and
customers who use the same SAP system uncustomized.
 Over reliance on customization undermines the principles of SAP
as a standardizing software platform
DATA MIGRATION:
Data migration is the process of moving/copying and restructuring data from

an existing system to the SAP system. Migration is critical to implementation
success and requires significant planning. Unfortunately, since migration is one of
the final activities before the production phase, it often receives insufficient
attention. The following steps can structure migration planning.
STEPS IN MIGRATION:
 Identify the data to be migrated

 Determine migration timing
 Generate the data templates
 Freeze the toolset
 Decide on migration-related setups
[32]
ADVANTAGE:
 Design Time Repository
 Component build service
 Change Management service.
 Development
 Allows easier global integration (barriers of currency exchange rates,

language, and culture can be bridged automatically)
 Updates only need to be done once to be implemented company-wide
 Provides real-time information, reducing the possibility of
redundancy errors
 May create a more efficient work environment for employees
 Vendors have past knowledge and expertise on how to best build and
implement a system
DESIGN TIME REPOSITORY:
The DTR resembles a file system and can be accessed through File and
folder permissions can be configured for users or groups. Each file is version
controlled and it's possible to branch or merge files. The main repository folder (ws)
contains folders representing tracks in the NWDI.
COMPONENT BUILD SERVICE:
When a file is changed in the Net weaver Developer Studio, an activity is

created together with a request. When the changes are done, the request is checked
in to the DTR, the activity is then activated, which triggers the CBS to build the DC
on the NWDI. Usually an ear or war file is created. When the activity is released
from the Net weaver Developer Studio, the ear or war file is deployed to a
development system via the CMS.
[33]
CHANGE MANAGEMENT SERVICE:
Change Management Service is used to maintain tracks and keep track of

what version is deployed on different servers in the landscape. CMS can also
transfer code between tracks. This is often used when creating tracks supporting
development of general components, development of main components and finally
maintaining deployment of full solutions.
Transferring code between tracks in order to achieve merge and joins

between deployed production versions.
THE CMS CONSISTS OF LAYERS ON EACH TRACK:
 Check-In : where initial source is loaded to the track.

 Development : represents the deployment to a development system.
Changes are deployed on a DC level.
 Consolidation : represents the deployment to a consolidation system.
 Assembly : Stage to accept a change. Combines all DCs to a full SC.
Version number labels are possible to set here.
 Test : represents the deployment to a test system. Changes are deployed
on a SC level.
 Confirm : Confirmation stage before moving the change to production.
 Production : represent the deployment to a production system.
 System State : Gives an overview of the different versions deployed on
different systems.
 Each layer have a history and the possibility to go back to an earlier state.
[34]
BENEFITS:
 They eliminate the need to synchronize changes between multiple

systems—consolidation of finance, marketing and sales, human
resource, and manufacturing applications.
 They bring legitimacy and transparency in each bit of statistical data.
 They provide a comprehensive enterprise view (no "islands of
information"). They make real–time information available to
management anywhere, any time to make proper decisions.
 They protect sensitive data by consolidating multiple security
systems into a single structure.
 SAP can greatly improve the quality and efficiency of a business. By
keeping a company's internal business process running smoothly,
SAP can lead to better outputs that will benefit the company such as
customer service, and manufacturing.
 SAP provides support to upper level management to provide them

with critical decision making information. This decision support will
allow the upper level management to make managerial choices that
will enhance the business down the road.
 SAP also creates a more agile company that can better adapt to
situations and changes. SAP makes the company more flexible and
less rigidly structured in an effort to allow the different parts of an
organization to become more cohesive, in turn, enhancing the
business both internally and externally
[35]
DISADVANTAGES:
 Cost of implementing in too high.

 Locked into relationship by contract and manageability with vendor -
a contract can hold a company to the vendor until it expires and it can
be unprofitable to switch vendors if switching costs are too high
 Inflexibility - vendor packages may not fit a company's business
model well and customization can be expensive
 Return on Investment may take too long to be profitable
 Implementations have a risk of project failure
 Customization is problematic.
 Overcoming resistance to sharing sensitive information between

departments can divert management attention.
 Integration of truly independent businesses can create unnecessary
dependencies.
 Extensive training requirements take resources from daily operations.
 Due to SAP's architecture (OLTP, On-Line Transaction Processing)
SAP systems are not well suited for production planning and supply
chain management (SCM)
 Harmonization of ERP systems can be a mammoth task (especially

for big companies) and requires a lot of time, planning and money.
[36]
LIMITATION:
The limitations of ERP have been recognized sparking new trends in ERP
application development, the four significant developments being made in ERP are,
creating a more flexible ERP, Web-Enable ERP, Inter enterprise ERP and e-
Business Suites, each of which will potentially address the failings of the current
ERP.

CHAPTER-III
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
[46]
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
THEORETICAL REVIEW:
Meaning of Quality of Work Life (QWL):
Quality of work life refers to the level of happiness or dissatisfaction with

one's career. Those who enjoy their careers are said to have a high quality of work
life, while those who are unhappy or whose needs are otherwise unfilled are said to
have a low quality of work life.
Definition of Quality of Work Life (QWL):
According to J. LIoyd Suttle, “Quality of work life is the degree to

which members of a work organization are able to satisfy important personal
needs through their experiences in the organization.”
QWL could be defined as “The Quality of the relationship between the man
and task.”
Concept of Quality of Work Life (QWL):
QWL is a prescriptive concept, it attempts to design work environments so

as to maximize concern for human welfare. QWL acts in two dimensions.
Goal
QWL acts as goal by Creation of more involving, satisfying and effective jobs.
Work environment for people at all levels of the organization.
Process
QWL acts as process by Make efforts to realize this goal through active
participation. The whole essence of QWL may be stated thus, the QWL is co–
operative rather than authoritarian; evolutionary and open rather static and rigid;
informal rather than mechanistic; mutual respect and trust than hatred against each
other.
[47]
Objectives of Quality of Work Life (QWL):
The major three main objectives for the QWL are
 Improve employees satisfaction

 Strengthen workplace learning, and
 Better manage on–going chance and transition
Major Issues in QWL:
Jerome M Rosow, president of the Work in American Institute, has identified

seven critical factors which will affect the quality of work life during the years
ahead. These are pay, employee benefits, job security, alternative work schedules,
occupational stress, participation and democracy in the workplace. QWL means
having good supervision, good working conditions, good pay and benefits an
interesting and challenging, and a rewarding job.
1) Pay
QWL is basically built around the concept of equitable pay. In the days ahead,
employees may want to participate in the profits of the firm as will. Employees must
be paid their due share in the progress and prosperity of the firm.
2) Benefits
Workers throughout the globe have raises their expectations over the years
and now feel entitled to benefits that were once considered a part of the bargaining
process.
3) Job Security
Employees want stability of employment. They do not like to be the victims

of whimsical personal policies and stay at the mercy of employers.
4) Alternative Work Schedules
Employees demand more freedom at the workplace, especially in scheduling

their work. Among the alternative work schedules capable of enhancing the quality
of work life for some employees are:
[48]
i. Flexi time: A system of flexible working hours,
ii. Staggered hours: Here groups of employees begin and end work at different
intervals.
iii. Compressed workweek: It involves more hours of work per day for fever
days, per week.
iv. Job enrichment: It attempts to increase a person's level of output by
providing that persons with exciting, interesting, stimulating or
challenging work.
v. Autonomous work groups (AWGs): Here a group of workers will be given
some control of decision-making and have responsibility for a task area
without day-to-day supervision, and with authority to influence and
control both group members and their behavior.
5) Occupational Stress
Occupational mental-health programmes dealing with stress are beginning to

emerge as a new and important aspect of QWL programmes. Obviously, and
individual suffering from an uncomfortable amount of job-related stress cannot
enjoy a high quality of work life. '
6) Worker Participation
Employees have a genuine hunger for participation in organizational issues

affecting their lives. Naturally they demand far more participation in the decision
making process at the workplace.
7) Social Integration
The work environment should provide opportunities for preserving an

employee's personal identify and self-esteem through freedom from prejudice, a
sense of community, interpersonal openness and the absence of stratification in the
organization.
8) Work and total life space
A person's work should not overbalance his life. Ideally speaking, work
schedules, career demands and other job requirements should not take up too much
of a person's leisure time and family life.
[49]
QWL Programmes:
Adequate & Fair Safe & Healthy Work
Compensation Environment
Development of Growth &
Human Security
Social Integration Constitutionalism
Total Life Space Social Relevance
QWL programmes concentrate on creating a working environment that is

Conductive to the satisfaction of worker needs. This program assumes that a job and
the work environment should be structured to meet as many of the workers needs as
possible. Richard Walton has organized into eight categories. These should be
integrated, coordinated and properly managed.
[50]
These programmes are helped to avoid some pitfalls like
 QWL program must be implemented with the co-operation of management

and labour.
 Action plans must be carried to completion.
 Care must be taken to concentrate the focus on the joint objectives of
improving the QWL.
What is QWL?
The term 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. Many early QWL efforts focus on job enrichment.
In addition to improving the work system, QWL programs usually emphasize
development of employee skills, the reduction of occupational stress and the
development of more co-operative labor-management relations.
Human resource departments are involved with efforts to improve

productivity through changes in employee relations. QWL means having good
supervision, good working conditions, good pay and benefits and an interesting,
challenging and rewarding job. High QWL is sought through an employee relations
philosophy that encourages the use of QWL efforts, which are systematic attempts
by an organization to give workers greater opportunities to affect their jobs and their
contributions to the organization’s overall effectiveness. That is, a proactive human
resource department finds ways to empower employees so that they draw on their
“brains and wits,” usually by getting the employees more involved in the decision-
making process.
[51]
A Rationale
Job specialization and simplification were popular in the early part of this
century. Employees were assigned narrow jobs and supported by a rigid hierarchy in
the expectation that efficiency would improve. The idea was to lower cost by using
unskilled workers who could be easily trained to do a small, repetitive part of each
job.
Many difficulties developed from that classical job design, however. There
was excessive division of labour. Workers became socially isolated from their co-
workers because their highly specialized jobs weakened their community of interest
in the whole product. De-skilled workers lost pride in their work and became bored
with their jobs. Higher-order (social and growth) needs were left unsatisfied. The
result was higher turnover and absenteeism, declines in quality and alienated
workers. Conflict often arose as workers sought to improve their conditions and
organisations failed to respond appropriately. The real cause was that in many
instances the job itself simply was not satisfying.
Forces for Change
A factor contributing to the problem was that the workers themselves were
changing. They became educated, more affluent (partly because of the effectiveness
of classical job design), and more independent. They began reaching for higher-
order needs, something more than merely earning their bread. Employers now had
two reasons for re-designing jobs and organisations for a better QWL:
Classical design originally gave inadequate attention to human needs.

The needs and aspirations of workers themselves were changing.
[52]
Humanized Work Through QWL
One option was to re-design jobs to have the attributes desired by people,
and re-design organisations to have the environment desired by the people. This
approach seeks to improve QWL. There is a need to give workers more of a
challenge, more of a whole task, more opportunity to use their ideas. Close attention
to QWL provides a more humanized work environment. It attempts to serve the
higher-order needs of workers as well as their more basic needs. It seeks to employ
the higher skills of workers and to provide an environment that encourages them to
improve their skills.
Job Enlargement vs. Job Enrichment
The modern interest in quality of work life was stimulated through efforts to
change the scope of people’s jobs in attempting to motivate them. Job scope has
two dimensions – breadth and depth. Job breadth is the number of different tasks
an individual is directly responsible for. It ranges from very narrow (one task
performed repetitively) to wide (several tasks). Employees with narrow job breadth
were sometimes given a wider variety of duties in order to reduce their monotony;
this process is called job enlargement. In order to perform these additional duties,
employees spend less time on each duty. Another approach to changing job breadth
is job rotation, which involves periodic assignment of an employee to completely
different sets of job activities.
Job enrichment takes a different approach by adding additional motivators

to a job to make it more rewarding. It was developed by Frederick Herzberg on the
basis of his studies indicating that the most effective way to motivate workers was
by focusing on higher-order needs. Job enrichment seeks to add depth to a job by
giving workers more control, responsibility and discretion over hoe their job is
performed.

DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION
Analysis of data:
This refers to the refinement and manipulation of data that would help at
arriving at inference.
Interpretation of data:
Interpretation has helped in bringing out the meaning of the data or in other
words to convert mere data into information. The climax of the research process is
approached as one prepares to draw conclusion from the data analyzed.
The data collected from the survey wear subjected to statistical analysis
involving:
 Percentage analysis
 Weighted average scale
 Chi-Square tests
1. Percentage analysis:
One of the simplest methods of analysis is the percentage method. It is one
of the traditional statistical tools. Through the use of percentage, the data are
reduced in the standard form with the base equal to 100, which facilitates
comparison. The formula used to compute Percentage analysis is,
2. Weighted Average Method:
Weighted average scale is used to analyze the 4point scale options used to
know about the satisfaction level other benefits to improve quality of work life.
Weighted average method = (X1W1 + X2W2 + X3W3+X4W4) /N
[60]
3. Chi-Square tests:
It is a measure to study the divergence of actual and expected frequencies. It is
represented by the symbol Ψ2, Greek letter chi. It describes the discrepancy theory
and observation. The formula used is,
Ψ2 = ∑(O-E)2/E
Where "O" is the observed Frequency "E" is the expected Frequency
