| description | The aim of this study is to find out about the employee’s perception of
their work-life quality in the university. Previous studies indicated that
employees’ perception on work life quality significantly influenced their
job satisfaction. 251 employees in the university participated in this
study. Ten variables to measure Quality Work Life (QWL) are
examined namely support from organization, work-family conflict,
relationship with peers, self competence, impact on job,
meaningfulness of job, optimism on organizational change, autonomy,
access to resources and time control. All these variables are tested the
relationship with job satisfaction. The test indicated that each of the
QWL variables on its own is a salient predictor of Job Satisfaction.
However, 7 QWL variables are no longer significant predictors for job
satisfaction when all the 10 QWL variables are entered into the
regression equation. Using multiple linear regressions, only 3 QWL
variables (meaningfulness of job, optimism on organizational change
and autonomy) are significantly related to Job Satisfaction. However,
they only explained 28.8% of the variance in Job Satisfaction, F (10,
240) = 11.134, p<.05. |
