Abstract

ABSTRACT Many factors determine the meaning of quality of work life (QWL), one of which is work environment. A group of workforces that is greatly affected in QWL as a result of dynamic changes in work environment is manufacturing industry. This article reviews the meaning of QWL, analyses constructs of QWL based on models and past research from the perspective of human force in many countries. The constructs of QWL discussed are health and well-being, job security, job satisfaction, competency development, work and non-work life balance. The article concludes that QWL from the perspective of professionalism in industry is challenging both to the individuals and organizations. The implications of this meaning and constructs for future research in QWL from the perspective of employees are discussed.
