Abstract
The concept of Quality of Work Life (QWL) has become inevitable for an organization’s survival and growth in the present era of competition, complexity and rapid advancements. QWL is of paramount importance in improving the morale and motivation of employees, and hence their performance. Thus, it has become immensely important to measure and enhance the QWL of employees in order to ensure that they are satisfied and perform better.
Keeping this in view, the present study has been conducted to study the Quality of Work Life of employees and its relationship with their Work Performance. A sample of 250 employees of Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (HPPCL) was selected by using convenience sampling technique.
