experience with respect to their line at the work. The quality of work life is the degree
of excellence brought about work and working conditions that contribute to the overall
satisfaction and performance primarily at individual level and finally at organization level.
Quality of Work Life (QWL) has become one of the most important issues these days in every
organization. Employees are the force that is behind every successful organization. No
organization can become successful with technology only because for the use of technology also,
organizations need to have strong work force. Quality of Work Life was the term actually
introduced in the late 1960s. From that period till now the term is gaining more and more
Importance everywhere, at every work place. Initially quality of work life was focusing on the
effects of employment on the general well being and the health of the workers. But now
its focus has been changed. Every organization needs to give good environment to their workers
including all financial and non financial incentives so that they can retain their employees for the
longer period and for the achievement of the organization goals. At the end we can say that a
happy and healthy employee will give better turnover, make good decisions and positively
Job satisfaction:
Job satisfaction is the favorable or unfavorable with which employees view their work.
As with motivation, it is affected by the environment. Job satisfaction is impacted by job design.
Jobs that are rich in positive behavioral elements ± such as autonomy, variety, task identity,
important because the employee’s acceptance by the work group contributes to satisfaction. In
sort, each element of the environmental system, can add to, or detract from, job satisfaction.
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,
gangsters, politicians, public figures and celebrities. These situations demand high level of
Pay:
Quality of work life is basically built around the concept of equitable pay. In this day
Organization should realize that their true wealth lies in their employees and so providing
development and growth and to prepare them to accept the responsibilities at higher level.
Participative management style improves the quality of work life. Workers feel that they have
control over their work process and they also offer the innovative ideas to improve them.
Recognition also helps in motivating employees to perform better. Recognition can be in form of
An autonomous work team is one which can plan, regulate and control its own work
world. The management only specifies the goals that too in collaboration with the team. The
team organizes the contents and structure of its job, evaluates its own performance, establishes
its speed and chooses its production method. It makes its own internal distribution of tasks and
decides its own membership. Autonomous team approach increases satisfaction and reduces
Motivation:
Motivation is a complex subject. It involves the unique feelings, thoughts and past
To expect single motivational approach work in every situation is probably unrealistic. In fact,
even theorists and researches take different points of view about motivation. Nevertheless,
motivation can be defined as a person’s drive to take an action because that person wants to do.
Work life balance:
Organization should provide the relaxation time for employees and offer tips to balance
their personal and professional lives. They should not strain employee’s personal and social life
by forcing on them by demanding working hours, overtime work, business travel, UN timing
transfers.
By the globalization the modern employees are experiencing distress. To meet the
challenges posed by present standards, organizational must focus their attention in bringing a
balance between work life and personal life. The underlying assumption is that work life balance
Today an employee desires work to be more meaningful and challenging because quality
is the acid test. A Quality of work life gives an opportunity for deep sense of fulfillment.
Employees seek a supportive work environment that will enable them to balance work with
personal interests.
Quality of work life provides a more humanized work environment. It attempts to serve
the higher order needs of workers as well as their basic needs. Quality of Work Life indicates
that the work should not have excessively negative conditions. It should not put workers under
undue stress. It should not damage or degrade their humanness. It should not be threatening or
unduly dangerous.
Employees in several companies that instituted Quality of work life experienced better
health and greater safety on the job. Other benefits included improved employee satisfaction,
morale, job interest, commitment and involvement; increased opportunity for individual growth ;

employee satisfaction with little modification which is based on the internal facilities of the
organization.
The research can be further used to evaluate the facilities provided by the management
towards the employee. This study also helps to manipulate the expectations of the employees.
Textile Industry in India is the second largest employment generator after agriculture. It

people. Textile industry was one of the earliest industries to come into existence in India and it
accounts for more than 30% of the total exports. In fact Indian textile industry is the second
Textile Industry is unique in the terms that it is an independent industry, from the basic
requirement of raw materials to the final products, with huge value-addition at every stage

opportunities in the agricultural, industrial, organized and decentralized sectors & rural and
urban areas, particularly for women and the disadvantaged. Indian textile industry is constituted
of the following segments: Readymade Garments, Cotton Textiles including Handlooms, Man-
made Textiles, Silk Textiles, Woolen Textiles, Handicrafts, Coir, and Jute.
Till the year 1985, development of textile sector in India took place in terms of general
policies. In 1985, for the first time the importance of textile sector was recognized and a separate
policy statement was announced with regard to development of textile sector. In the year 2000,
National Textile Policy was announced. Its main objective was: to provide cloth of acceptable
quality at reasonable prices for the vast majority of the population of the country, to increasingly
contribute to the provision of sustainable employment and the economic growth of the nation;

The textile mills are involved in the production of thread, yarn and fabric that are
eventually turned into carpet, linens, towels, draperies, sheets, upholstery for furniture and
automobiles and industrial products. Due to the variety of finished textiles, each factory
The process used in textile mills involves spinning synthetic or natural fibers into a
product for final domestic or industrial use. The yarn that is spun must be cleaned and given
additional treatment for the final product. Employees who work in textiles are generally
specialized, and they run automated looms designed to create fabric for apparel, upholstery,
Workers in older textile mills had to endure dirty, noisy buildings filled with airborne
fibers. However, modern facilities are much cleaner, although conditions may vary from one
factory or mill to another. Government regulations require protective clothing, masks, ear plugs
and protective shoes or boots. There are still health concerns due to repetitive motion, sitting or
standing for long periods of time and heavy machinery that can be hazardous if used improperly.
Textile Industry Jobs:
A variety of jobs exist in the textile industry. In addition to production, people are needed
to transport materials and to provide administration, repair and management in plants and sales.
Most companies hire in-house quality assurance people. Other textile-related positions include
engineers, fashion designers, sewing machine operators and pressers. Apparel is the most
difficult to automate due to the variety of seams and structure of the garments, so it remains a
Due to the laborious nature of the textile industry, technology is continuously being
developed for efficiency. This is creating jobs for highly skilled workers. The lower level jobs
are being outsourced to countries where workers receive lower wages. To maintain a competitive
