conditions, low self esteem, occupational stress, work heavy load, monotony, Fatigue,
time pressures, lack of stability and security etc. in view of the contemporary
managerial problems, the present day employees are much concerned about high
wages, better benefits, challenging jobs etc...
MEANING:
In the recent past, the tense “quality of work life “has appeared in research
journals and the press with remarkable regularity. Despite this, there is no general
definition of the concept it has become a casual phrase encompassing whatever
improvement in general organization climate the practitioner or researcher has
observed.
However some attempts were made to describe the tense QWL. It refers to the
favorableness or unfavorableness of a job environment for people. QWL means
different things to different people. J. Richard and. LOY defines QWL as “the degree
to which members of a work organization are able to satisfy important personal needs
through their experience in the organization.
2
DEFINITION:
QWL improvements are defined as any activity, which take place at every
level of and organization, which seeks great organizational effectiveness through
enhancement of human degree and growth........ a process through which stake hold
ness in the organization – management ,unions and employees learn how to work
together better.... to determine for themselves what actions, changes and
improvements are desirable and workable in order to achieve the twin and
simultaneously goal both the company and the unions.
In which both organization and employees are benefited through this adoption

NEED FOR THE STUDY
The study with the prime objectives of ascertaining the employees towards the
Quality of work life program, which are required to perform their jobs effectively.
The studies include managers and employees.
4
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
These are the Objectives which I have been thought from the Company:
5
METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
Nature of study
The study was totally a fact –finding study. The main aim of this is to identity
and evaluates the training and development program given to the employees working
in KESORAM.
Study Area
Sample Design
A sample design is definite plan determined before data was actually collected
for obtaining a sample from given population. In this study random sampling is used.
This sampling method involves purposive or deliberate selection of particular units of
the population for constituting a sample, which represents the population
Sample size :
The sample size taken for survey includes 100 employees. The sample takes
into consideration / constitutes all the managers and programmers in organization.
In dealing with any problem it is often found that data at hand are inadequate,
and therefore it becomes necessary to collect data that are appropriate. These are
several ways of collecting the appropriate data, which defer considerably in context of
time and other Resources. Here for the purpose of study two kinds of data has been
used.
6
1. Primary data
2. Secondary data
1. Primary Data
The primary data are those, which are collected afresh for the first time, and
thus happens to be original in character, with reference to this study, data is collected
through.
A) Questionnaire
B) Interview method
A) Questionnaire Method
Data is gathered by distributing Questionnaire to managers and employees.
Questionnaire in prepared and pre-tested before using it for data collection.
Questionnaire is a structured one, consisting of questions, which are close-ended
having fixed response pattern with multiple answers.
B) Interview Method
2. Secondary Data
The secondary data are those that are already available, i.e. they refer to the
data, which have already been collected and analyzed by someone else. Secondary
data is gathered from the organization catalogues, journals and books.
7
IMPORTANCE /SIGNIFICANCE OF QUALITY OF WORK LIFE:
Quality of work life programs has become important in the work place for the
following reason
Increased competition for the best student and talent for education and
research environment
1. Firstly the respondents were not available readily and the data were collected
as per the convenience of the respondents.
2. Secondly the sample of 100 respondents was given by the organization; hence
appropriate sample technique was not applied for selecting the respondents.

with desired services who were already reeling under poor services and limited
infrastructure facilities resulting in poor planning and large inventories.

OUR HISTORY
In today’s day to day life we all enjoy good highways, bridges, flyovers or other
infrastructural developments and technological advancements, which make our lives
easier and enable us to connect with different parts of the world. Transportation plays
silent but significant role to make it possible.
One cannot imagine living without transportation; even an access to basic commodity
like milk and vegetable would become a nightmare and infrastructure facilities a
distant dream. Timely production & distribution is possible only with accurate
transport & logistic service.
When it comes to transportation and services, Express Roadways Pvt. Ltd. plays a
significant role. In the service oriented business, communication has to be precise and
perfect. From the time of submitting the quotation to the final delivery, we are in
constant touch with our consignment – helping us in explaining the exact situation to
our customers.

1993 Became a part of the Indian Transportation Network
Express Roadways Pvt. Ltd. was formed in the year 1993, the reason being so was
that the promoters of the company who were scattered in different parts in India and
in different companies came together and realized the need for a transport company
which can reach to the nucleus of this service industry and try to satisfy customers
with desired services who were already reeling under poor services and limited
infrastructure facilities resulting in poor planning and large inventories
2000 Started Containerized Solutions for Transportation
We were looking for new ideas on how to differentiate our services from our
competitors at that point of time. We realized that there were very few players in this
sector. It was an overnight decision. In the very next we decided and finalized our
decision. It was one of the decisions which led to our growth and helped us reach
where we are today.
2005 Ventured into Warehousing operations
One Day in the month of March, a multinational company approached us with the
opportunity of providing them Warehousing across India. We had a very small
warehousing segment prior to that. We took up that challenge and succeeded in
providing the client with the best service levels. Today we have our warehousing
facility, expanding to 200000 sqft surface area.
2007 First 3 PL contract signed in this year
It was a new challenge which came across us. But it was also a good opportunity to
enter into this business venture and enhance our market reach. It helped us get access
to many Multinational clients.
2008 Started custom based logistics solutions for our Esteemed Clients
By this time we had established Trucking as a separate Business Vertical. We had
increased our focus based on custom solutions for clients. It meant huge investments
in working on designs/ adding special trucks to company fleet as per customer
requirement. Our only aim was to provide Value Added Services to our clients.

For a company like ours, It was a great achievement in terms of Milestone. It gave us
additional support and helped us create a Brand.

14
We were growing exponentially. We made huge investments in the past 4 years to
develop and reach a fleet size of 500 vehicles. Each and every member played an
important role in the development of this organization.
2015 Company fleet plying Pan India
In 2015, we had our network established Pan India. We started covering all the parts
of India through our wide network. Now we have the ability and capability to deliver
goods to any given location Pan India.

CHAPTER-III
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
22
QUALITY OF WORK LIFE
The factors that influence and decide the Quality of work life are:
1. Attitude
2. Environment
3. Opportunities
4. Nature of Job
5. People
6. Stress Level
7. Career Prospects
8. Challenges
9. Growth and Development
10. Risk Involved and Reward
Attitude: The person who is entrusted with a particular job needs to have
sufficient knowledge, required skill and expertise, enough experience, enthusiasm,
energy level, willingness to learn new things, dynamism, sense of belongingness in
the organization, involvement in the job, inter personnel relations, adaptability to
changes in the situation, openness for innovative ideas, competitiveness, zeal, ability
to work under pressure, leadership qualities and team-spirit.
Environment: The job may involve dealing with customers who have varied
tolerance level, preferences, behavioral pattern, level of understanding; or it may
23
involve working with dangerous machines like drilling pipes, cranes, lathe machines,
welding and soldering machines, or even with animals where maximum safety
precautions have to be observed which needs lot of concentration, alertness, presence
of mind, quick with involuntary actions, synchronization of eyes, hands and body,
sometimes high level of patience, tactfulness, empathy and compassion and control
over emotions.
Nature of Job: For example, a driller in the oil drilling unit, a diver, a fire-
fighter, traffic policeman, train engine driver, construction laborers, welder, miner,
lathe mechanic have to do dangerous jobs and have to be more alert in order to avoid
any loss of limb, or loss of life which is irreparable; whereas a pilot, doctor, judge,
journalist have to be more prudent and tactful in handling the situation; a CEO, a
professor, a teacher have more responsibility and accountability but safe working
environment; a cashier or a security guard cannot afford to be careless in his job as it
involves loss of money, property and wealth; a politician or a public figure cannot
afford to be careless, for his reputation and goodwill is at stake. Some jobs need soft
skills, leadership qualities, intelligence, decision making abilities, abilities to train and
extract work from others; other jobs need forethought, vision and yet other jobs need
motor skills, perfection and extreme carefulness.
People: Almost everyone has to deal with three set of people in the work
place. Those are namely boss, co-workers in the same level and subordinates. Apart
from this, some professions need interaction with people like patients, media persons,
public, customers, thieves, robbers, physically disabled people, mentally challenged,
children, foreign delegates, gangsters, politicians, public figures and celebrities. These
situations demand high level of prudence, cool temper, tactfulness, humor, kindness,
diplomacy and sensitiveness.
24
Stress Level: All these above mentioned factors are inter-related and inter-
dependant. Stress level need not be directly proportional to the compensation. Stress
is of different types - mental stress/physical stress and psychological or emotional
stress. A Managing Director of a company will have mental stress, a laborer will have
physical stress, a psychiatrist will have emotional stress. Mental stress and Emotional
stress cause more damage than physical stress.
25
in them; All said and done, reward is a key criteria to lure a prospective worker to
accept the offer.
Conclusion: A happy and healthy employee will give better turnover, make
good decisions and positively contribute to the organizational goal. An assured good
quality of work life will not only attract young and new talent but also retain the
existing experienced talent.
Quality of working life has been differentiated from the broader concept of
quality of life. To some degree, this may be overly simplistic, as Elizur and
26
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.
Whilst quality of life has been more widely studied, quality of working life,
remains relatively unexplored and unexplained. A review of the literature reveals
relatively little on quality of working life. Where quality of working life has been
explored, writers differ in their views on its’ core constituents.
It is argued that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts as regards
quality of working Life, and, therefore, the failure to attend to the bigger picture may
lead to the failure of interventions which tackle only one aspect. A clearer
understanding of the inter-relationship of the various facets of quality of working life
offers the opportunity for improved analysis of cause and effect in the workplace.
This consideration of quality of working Life as the greater context for various
factors in the workplace, such as job satisfaction and stress, may offer opportunity for
more cost-effective interventions in the workplace. The effective targeting of stress
reduction, for example, may otherwise prove a hopeless task for employers pressured
to take action to meet governmental requirements.

according to organization and employee group.
work involvement,
intrinsic job motivation,
higher order need strength,
perceived intrinsic job characteristics,
job satisfaction,
life satisfaction,
happiness, and
self-rated anxiety.
28
They discussed a range of correlations derived from their work, such as those
between work involvement and job satisfaction, intrinsic job motivation and job
satisfaction, and perceived intrinsic job characteristics and job satisfaction. In
particular, Warr et al. found evidence for a moderate association between total job
satisfaction and total life satisfaction and happiness, with a less strong, but significant
association with self-rated anxiety.
Thus, whilst some authors have emphasized the workplace aspects in quality
of working life, others have identified the relevance of personality factors,
psychological well being, and broader concepts of happiness and life satisfaction.
Factors more obviously and directly affecting work have, however, served as
the main focus of attention, as researchers have tried to tease out the important
influences on quality of working life in the workplace.
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 :
Baba and Jamal (1991) listed what they described as typical indicators of
quality of working life, including:
job satisfaction,
job involvement,
work role ambiguity,
work role conflict,
work role overload,
job stress,
organizational commitment and
turn-over intentions.
29
Baba and Jamal also explored routinisation of job content, suggesting that this
facet should be investigated as part of the concept of quality of working life.
Some have argued that quality of working life might vary between groups of
workers. For example, Ellis and Pompli (2002) identified a number of factors
contributing to job dissatisfaction and quality of working life in nurses, including:
Sirgy et al. (2001) suggested that the key factors in quality of working life are:
They defined quality of working life as satisfaction of these key needs through
resources, activities, and outcomes stemming from participation in the workplace.
Needs as defined by the psychologist, Abraham Maslow, were seen as relevant in
underpinning this model, covering health & safety, economic and family, social,
esteem, actualization, knowledge and aesthetics, although the relevance of non-work
aspects is play down as attention is focused on quality of work life rather than the
broader concept of quality of life.
30
These attempts at defining quality of working life have included theoretical
approaches, lists of identified factors, correlation analyses, with opinions varying as to
whether such definitions and explanations can be both global, or need to be specific to
each work setting.
In summary, where it has been considered, authors differ in their views on the
core constituents of Quality of Working Life (e.g. Sirgy, Efraty, Siegel & Lee, 2001
and Warr, Cook & Wall, 1979).
31
Quality of Working Life is not a unitary concept, but has been seen as
incorporating a hierarchy of perspectives that not only include work-based factors
such as job satisfaction, satisfaction with pay and relationships with work colleagues,
but also factors that broadly reflect life satisfaction and general feelings of well-being
(Danna & Griffin, 1999). More recently, work-related stress and the relationship
between work and non-work life domains (Loscocco & Roschelle, 1991) have also
been identified as factors that should conceptually be included in Quality of Working
Life.
Measurement
There are few recognized measures of quality of working life, and of those
that exist few have evidence of validity and reliability, that is, there is a very limited
literature based on peer reviewed evaluations of available assessments. A recent
statistical analysis of a new measure, the Work-Related Quality of Life scale
(WRQoL), indicates that this assessment device should prove to be a useful
instrument, although further evaluation would be useful. The WRQoWL measure uses
six core factors to explain most of the variation in an individual’s quality of working
life: Job and Career Satisfaction; Working Conditions; General Well-Being; Home-
Work Interface; Stress at Work and Control at Work.
The Job & Career Satisfaction (JCS) scale of the Work-Related Quality of
Life scale (WRQoL) is said to reflect an employee’s feelings about, or evaluation of,
their satisfaction or contentment with their job and career and the training they receive
to do it. Within the WRQoL measure, JCS is reflected by questions asking how
satisfied people feel about their work. It has been proposed that this Positive Job
Satisfaction factor is influenced by various issues including clarity of goals and role
ambiguity, appraisal, recognition and reward, personal development career benefits
and enhancement and training needs.
32
may have a major impact on the general well-being of the population. The WRQoL
GWB factor assesses issues of mood, depression and anxiety, life satisfaction, general
quality of life, optimism and happiness.
The WRQoL Stress at Work sub-scale (SAW) reflects the extent to which
an individual perceives they have excessive pressures, and feel stressed at work. The
WRQoL SAW factor is assessed through items dealing with demand and perception
of stress and actual demand overload. Whilst it is possible to be pressured at work and
not be stressed at work, in general, high stress is associated with high pressure.
The Control at Work (CAW) subscale of the WRQoL scale addresses how
much employees feel they can control their work through the freedom to express their
opinions and being involved in decisions at work. Perceived control at work as
measured by the Work-Related Quality of Life scale (WRQoL) is recognized as a
central concept in the understanding of relationships between stressful experiences,
behavior and health. Control at work, within the theoretical model underpinning the
WRQoL, is influenced by issues of communication at work, decision making and
decision control.
The Working Conditions scale of the WRQoL assesses the extent to which
the employee is satisfied with the fundamental resources, working conditions and
security necessary to do their job effectively. Physical working conditions influence
employee health and safety and thus employee Quality of working life. This scale also
taps into satisfaction with the resources provided to help people do their jobs.
33
Applications
Worrall and Cooper (2006) recently reported that a low level of well-being at
work is estimated to cost about 5-10% of Gross National Product per annum, yet
Quality of Working Life as a theoretical construct remains relatively unexplored and
unexplained within the organizational psychology research literature.
A large chunk of most peoples’ lives will be spent at work. Most people
recognize the importance of sleeping well, and actively try to enjoy the leisure time
that they can snatch. But all too often, people tend to see work as something they just
have to put up with, or even something they don’t even expect to enjoy.
Some of the factors used to measure quality of working life pick up on things
that don’t actually make people feel good, but which seem to make people feel bad
about work if those things are absent. For example, noise – if the place where
someone works is too noisy, they might get frequent headaches, or find they cannot
concentrate, and so feel dissatisfied. But when it is quiet enough they don’t feel
pleased or happy - they just don’t feel bad. This can apply to a range of factors that
affect someone's working conditions.
Other things seem to be more likely to make people feel good about work and
themselves once the basics are OK at work. Challenging work (not too little, not too
much) can make them feel good. Similarly, opportunities for career progression and
using their abilities can contribute to someone's quality of working life.
34
wellbeing springs from the fact that these processes are the key first step in
identifying areas for improving quality of working life and addressing risks at work.

CHAPTER-V
FINDINGS
61
FINDINGS
The topic selected is quality of work life. The significance of selecting the
topic relates to its importance in the study to make the employees more efficient, so
that organizational goal can be achieved through personal development the study
deals with the particular view point on the quality of work life and analysis of their
view point on the training program. There is a need for improvement in training
facilities to enhance skills competence. Half of them do not think promotion policy
ensures planned career growth.
Most of the employees attended the Quality of work life program to gain
knowledge on their self interest but some of the respondents gave their suggestions so
that the program can be more effective.
Workers have good relations with superiors, peers and subordinates. They
have a mechanism in place to express their views and grievances. Most of them work
as a part of team. They feel successful at work. Most of them never carry office work
to home.
Majority fee they improve their work life by balancing both personal and
office work. Half of them feel work life obstructs their personal life. But majority see
personal life has no effect on work life. Half of them do not go home in time. So, I
feel there should have been one more question in questioner on overtime policy in
organization.
62
CONCLUSIONS
Organization should focus on the benefit that are aimed to words self improvement of
the employees.
Benefits provided by the organization are very good to satisfy the employee personal
needs.
Organization should focus on the training sessions in order to motivate the employees.
