Abstract

The quest for improved productivity through human resources has its beginning in the early 1900s. F. W. Taylor's scientific management principles created a new awareness regarding human resources, who were earlier considered as mere instruments of production, ready to work from dawn to dusk under whatever conditions and being motivated by the lure of money. From then, till today research and experiments have been undertaken to understand human beings at work and the ways to improve their job satisfaction, balanced with the aim of the organizations to combine better productivity with job and employee satisfaction. In order to achieve this twin objective, different approaches have been developed and applied. Quality of work life is all about the conducive and congenial environment created at the work place as it is one of the main reasons for better performance and productivity. Only when the right ambience is provided to the employees they will be able to deliver their goods effectively and efficiently
