EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:
QWL is a comprehensive, department-wide program designed to enhance the
work environment by improving employee satisfaction, strengthening work
place learning and helping employees better manage change and transition.
Quality ! W"# li!$ %"&"a'( has become important in the work place for the
following reasons:
Increased women in the workforce
Social integration in the company
Increased responsibility for elders
Increased demands at work
Loss of long term employment guarantees
The need for enhanced work place skills
reater competition for talent

The concept of QWL in India manifests itself in a variety of operational
systems. There is a need to probe deeply these operational systems. The
available data on these aspects is scanty and superficial which has prompted us
to undertake this research.

Study of the impact of work environment on the "uality of work life of
employees in a garment e#porting company.
OB0ECTIVES:
To understand the present work environment in the company.
To study the impact of work environment on the personal effectiveness of
employees in the work place. To e#amine the employee satisfaction level.
To find out if the satisfaction of employees in independent or dependent
on the "uality of work life. To find out areas of weakness and provide constructive suggestions.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The nature of research was e#ploratory as well as diagnostic because the study
was aimed at e#ploring the impact of work environment on the "uality of work
life of employees. This research is also aimed at recogni$ing the areas of
improvement for %Theme ports'.
Sa'%l$ (i1$: ( total number of )** employees were selected to elicit the data
re"uired for the study.
Sa'%li+& t$*)+i2u$:
The respondents were chosen on the basis of (i'%l$ "a+,' (a'%li+&3 Simple

Data *ll$*ti+ a+, a+aly(i(:
ata used in this research is primary as well as secondary.
I+(t"u'$+tati+ t$*)+i2u$(:
Qu$(ti++ai"$: The primary data has been collected through
"uestionnaires which were administered to employees and personally
filled by them. /$"(+al i+t$"4i$.: This was re"uired for classification of any
ambiguous answers from the employees.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:
This study pertains only to employees of %Theme ports'.
The study is limited to the work environment and facilities provided by
%Theme ports'.
Some "uestionnaires that I received were incomplete as a result could not
be included in the tabulation. It is assumed that there is no influence of any person, for e.g. a colleague
peer while filling the "uestionnaire. (s the perception level of the respondents has not been tested, it is
assumed that all of them have perceived the "uestions in the correct way.
EX/ECTATIONS FROM THE STUDY:
To gain insight on the present level of "uality of work life at % Theme
ports'. To familiari$e myself with all the domains that contribute to the over-all
assessment of "uality of work life.

FINDINGS FROM THE STUDY:
The male employees are found to be more prone to stress compared to
their female counterparts. The reason can be attributed to the fact that
most men suffer from peer pressure from their female counterparts, as the
work involved is usually considered to be of women/s domain. !oth the male and female employees feel that work environment has an
impact on their performance. The employees are found to be content with the present work
environment in the company.
The satisfaction of employees is dependent on the "uality of work

personal life through their work and their environment.
To businesses, this translates into how their staff3s professional responsibilities
affect their personal lives. The "uality of life has become a ma4or focus as
companies reali$e the effect professional stress has on the "uality of work and
officemorale.

). In assessing the "uality of work life, it is important that the employee feel
that the task assigned is valued within the organi$ation. The task should fit his
skills and abilities, allow the employee to supervise the progress of the task and provide a way for the employee to reach his ultimate goal within the company.

employee is working in or a space that will be used in the future. The physical
environment should be safe and healthy, and provide the resources necessary tocomplete the assigned task. (n ideal physical environment is mentally

access to fair assessments and feedback, and the ability to advance within the

7. This element is a little harder for businesses to affect because it is rooted in
personal perceptions. &very employee is different and that brings a different
view on the perfect work and life balance.
In attempting to create a fair work and life balance, organi$ations should
consider the effect of the 4ob on the family, the level and type of stress the 4ob
produces, and the ultimate career goal of the individual employee. Some
companies have addressed this by allowing telecommuting, fle# schedules or
4ob sharing in lieu of longer hours or increased responsibility. quality of

regardless of the type of organi$ation, government, business, education, health,
recreation, or social action. etting and keeping good people is critical to the
success of every organi$ation whether profit or non-profit, public or private.
Those organi$ations that are able to ac"uire, develop, stimulate and keep
outstanding workers with both effective =able to achieve their goals> and
efficient =spending the least amount of resource necessary>. Those organi$ations
that are ineffective or inefficient risk the ha$ards of stagnating or going out of
business. Survival of an organi$ation re"uires competent managers and workers
coordinating their efforts towards an ultimate goal. ?hile successful
coordination cannot guarantee success, organi$ations that are unsuccessful in
getting such coordination from managers and workers will ultimately fail.
To look at ;+< more specifically, we suggest that it is process consisting of
four functions @ ac"uisition, development, motivation and maintenance @ of
;uman +esource. In less academic terms we might describe these four
functions as getting people, preparing them, activating them and keeping them.
Hu'a+ "$(u"*$( is a term with which many organi$ations describe thecombination of traditionally administrative personnel functions with
performance management, employee relations and resource planning. The field
draws upon concepts developed in Industrial9rgani$ational Asychology.
;uman resources has at least two related interpretations depending on conte#t.
The original usage derives from political economy and economics, where it was
traditionally called labor, one of four factors of production. The more commonusage within corporations and businesses refers to the individuals within the
firm, and to the portion of the firm3s organi$ation that deals with hiring, firing,
training, and other personnel issues. This article addresses both definitions.
The ob4ective of ;uman +esources is to ma#imi$e the return on investment
from the organi$ation3s human capital and minimi$e financial risk. It is the
responsibility of human resource managers to conduct these activities in an

4ustifies a bargaining position and a general view that 1human resources1 are
interchangeable.
( significant sign of consensus on this latter point is the IS9 F*** series of
standards which re"uires a 14ob description1 of every participant in a productive
enterprise. In general, heavily unioni$ed nations such as 0rance and ermany
have adopted and encouraged such descriptions especially within trade unions.
9ne view of this trend is that a strong social consensus on political economy
and a good social welfare system facilitates labor mobility and tends to make
the entire economy more productive, as labor can move from one enterprise to
another with little controversy or difficulty in adapting.
(n important controversy regarding labor mobility illustrates the broader
philosophical issue with usage of the phrase 1human resources1: governments of
developing nations often regard developed nations that encourage immigration
or 1guest workers1 as appropriating human capital that is rightfully part of the
developing nation and re"uired to further its growth as a civili$ation. They
argue that this appropriation is similar to colonial commodity fiat wherein acoloni$ing &uropean power would define an arbitrary price for natural
resources, e#tracting which diminished national natural capital.
The debate regarding 1human resources1 versus human capital thus in many
ways echoes the debate regarding natural resources versus natural capital. 9ver
time the nited 8ations have come to more generally support the developing
nations3 point of view, and have re"uested significant offsetting 1foreign aid1contributions so that a developing nation losing human capital does not lose the
capacity to continue to train new people in trades, professions, and the arts.
In the very narrow conte#t of corporate 1human resources1, there is a
contrasting pull to reflect and re"uire workplace diversity that echoes the
diversity of a global customer base. 0oreign language and culture skills,
ingenuity, humor, and careful listening, are e#amples of traits that such
programs typically re"uire. It would appear that these evidence a general shift to

the human capital point of view, and an acknowledgment that human beings do
contribute much more to a productive enterprise than 1work1: they bring their
character, their ethics, their creativity, their social connections, and in some
cases even their pets and children, and alter the character of a workplace. The
term corporate culture is used to characteri$e such processes.
The traditional but e#tremely narrow conte#t of hiring, firing, and 4ob
description is considered a 5*th century anachronism.

effect on the recruitment of employees. The e#ternal factors are those out-with
the powers of the organi$ation and include issues such as current and future
trends of the labor market e.g. skills, education level, government investment
into industries etc. 9n the other hand internal influences are easier to control,
predict and monitor, for e#ample management styles or even the organi$ational
culture.
In order to know the business environment in which any organi$ation operates,
three ma4or trends should be considered:
emographics @ the characteristics of a populationworkforce, for e#ample, age,
gender or social class. This type of trend may have an effect in relation to
pension offerings, insurance packages etc.
Di4$"(ity @ the variation within the populationworkplace. hanges in society
now mean that a larger proportion of organi$ations are made up of 1baby-
boomers1 or older employees in comparison to thirty years ago. (lso, over recent years organi$ations have had to become more diverse in their
employment practices to cope with the lower work ethic of the newer
generations. The service industry for e#ample, has embraced those 1baby-
boomers1 desiring to reenter the workforce. Traditional advocates of 1workplace
diversity1 simply advocate an employee base that is a mirror reflection of the
make-up of society insofar as race, gender, se#ual orientation, etc. Theseadvocates focus on the social engineering theory without understanding the
more important points: diversity of ideas to prevent stagnation of products and
business developmentH e#panding the customer base through 1outreach1H and
profit. (larmists and advocates of social engineering theory cite a 1rise in
discrimination, unfair dismissal and se#ualracial harassment cases1 as an
indicator of the need for more diversity legislation. ?hile such measures have a
significant effect on the organi$ation, they effect little or no real change in

advancing diversity of ideas in the workplace. (nti-discrimination laws and
regulations do re"uire businesses to undertake a cost-benefit analysis. The result
of this analysis is often to adopt an approach that generally recogni$es gender,
racial, and se#ual orientation diversity as a cheaper alternative to fighting
endless litigation. In summary, diversity, based on social engineering %is about
creating a working culture that seeks, respects and values difference' without
regard to how diversity increases productive and unity of effort.

Though human resources have been part of business and organi$ations since the
first days of agriculture, the modern concept of human resources began in
reaction to the efficiency focus of Taylorism in the early )F**s. !y )F5*,
psychologists and employment e#perts in the nited States started the human
relations movement, which viewed workers in terms of their psychology and fit
with companies, rather than as interchangeable parts. This movement grew
throughout the middle of the 5*th century, placing emphasis on how leadership,
cohesion, and loyalty played important roles in organi$ational success. (lthough
this view was increasingly challenged by more "uantitatively rigorous and less
1soft1 management techni"ues in the )FC*s and beyond, human resources had
gained a permanent role within an organi$ation.

was blended cloth. Three distinctive technologies are used in the sector @
handlooms, powerlooms and knitting machines. They also represent very
distinctive supply chains. The handloom sector =including khadi, silk and some
wool> serves the low and the high ends of the value chain @ both mass
consumption products for use in rural India as well as niche products for urban

India is one of the few countries that owns the complete supply chain in close
pro#imity from diverse fibres to a large market. It is capable of delivering
packaged products to customers comprising a variety of fibres, diverse count
si$es, cloths of different weight and weave, and a panoply of finishes. This
permits the supply chain to mi# and match variety in different segments to
deliver new products and applications. This advantage is further accentuated by
cost based advantages and diverse traditions in te#tiles.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:

Theme exports
E to )* hours is spent in the work place, with very few employees
working overtime. There is greater emphasis on the "uality of work
rather than the "uantity of work.
Aroblems with colleagues is minimal, however efforts can be made to
improve the relationship among employees.
(round E*N of the employees feel secure in their 4obs. The remaining
5*N of the employees feel insecure and hence it reduces their
productivity.
The male employees are found to be more prone to stress compared to
their female counterparts. The reason can be attributed to the fact that
most men suffer from peer pressure from their female counterparts, as
the work involved is usually considered to be of women/s domain.
The causes of stress are attributed to factors such as work timings, work
environment, 4ob security and relationship with the superiors.
To combat stress, the employees confide with their family and friends
and some even practice yoga and rela#ation e#ercises.
The work environment influences the behaviour of the employees in the
work place.
9penness and Innovation at work is encouraged by the organi$ation.
The employees are found to be content with the present work
environment in the company.
The opportunities for growth and promotion in the company are

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
• ontinuous feedback to the employees should be encouraged. 0eedback
to supervisors from subordinates should also be encouraged.
• The company should modify its organi$ation structure in a manner to
promote communication between people who need to work together. (s

in a hierarchical structure it is very important to keep in mind that there is
enough room for
• communication, without which there would be no common platform to
work
• o-ordination and co-operation among employees must be encouraged in
order to cultivate team spirit.
• Supervisors should be encouraged for creativity and innovation.
• The organi$ation should consider employees as ;uman (ssets and make
them feel wanted and value their opinions. There should be greater
involvement of workers in welfare policy decision-making.
• If the employees are always monitored they would detest their work
environment. Independence should be given to some e#tent, if not for
ma4or decisions.
• Suggestion schemes should be encouraged with constant response given
to the employees This will motivate them to come up with more
innovative and constructive suggestions.This should be rewarded instead
of mere appreciation letters.
• The welfare measures should be provided by the management out of
concern for the employees and not as a compulsion.
• The employees are de-motivated because the organi$ation culture does
not encourage openness and risk taking. They should be allowed to take
calculated risks at their 4ob in consultation with a supervisor.
• The company should compile a specific report on employee satisfaction
as well as dis-satisfaction. This will enable the company to develop
measures to improve the "uality of work life of employees and
conse"uently their productivity.
• Thereby people should be i.e where possible the people should be
allowed inspect their own work, thereby learning from their mistakes and

redesigning the number of communication links across departmental
bounderies,
• Induction and training programme must be encouraged to improve
employee performance.
• Incentive scheme should be provided to employees to encourage them to
work overtime.
• &fforts must be made to provide 4ob security to employees which in turn
will increase their morale and productivity.
• Information systems should be so designed as to provide information in
the first place to the point where action on the basis is needed.• The systems of social support should be designed so as to reinforce the
behaviours which the organi$ation structure is designed to elicit.
• The causes of stress should be identified and efforts must be taken to
provide employees with in-house counselors and psychologists.
• 0avoritism and nepotism should be eliminated so that the employees can
trust the intentions of the management.
•The ob4ective of organi$ation design should be to provide a high "uality
of working life to its members
