Orientation: Research efforts have been directed at understanding the relationship between quality of work life and organisational commitment, but these studies have not elucidated the mediating role of perceived external prestige in this relationship.Research purpose: This research seeks to close a research gap by determining the role of perceived external prestige in the relationship between quality of work life and organisational commitment amongst public sector employees in Ghana.Research approach, design and method: Theoretically guided hypotheses and models were formulated and tested with hierarchical multiple regression statistics using data from a sample of 137 employees from two public sector organisations in Ghana.Main findings: The results support the hypothesis that quality of work life is positively related to both perceived external prestige and organisational commitment. Also, perceived external prestige was found to predict organisational commitment and partially mediate the relationship between quality of work life and organisational commitment.Practical/managerial implications: The findings imply that one sure way to enhance organisational commitment of employees is by improving their quality of work life and boosting their perceptions of external prestige of the organisation. These results will be of particular interest to policymakers, public organisations and stakeholders interested in increasing organisational commitment of their employees.Contribution/value-add: The findings extend previous research by establishing the mediating role of perceived external prestige in the relationship between quality of work life and organisational commitment. If managers of organisations wish to improve organisational commitment, it is wise to institutionalise an organisational culture that promotes good quality of work life and boost the external prestige of the organisation in the employees’ mind.

This study aims at clarifying the mediating role of quality of work-life in the relationship between employees’ empowerment and organizational performance using balanced scorecard. The study population consists of all the employees of cement companies in Jordan. The number of employees in the researched companies is (1564) individuals, and the study used a proportional stratified random sample. Consequently, (307) questionnaires were distributed, and (217) valid questionnaires were retrieved. To test the study hypotheses, the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (“PLS-SEM”) software was used. Path analysis was conducted to find out the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable through the mediating variable. Accordingly, the results show that there is an impact of employees empowerment represented by (influence, competency, self-orientation, the meaning of work) on organizational performance represented by (customer satisfaction, internal processes, innovation and learning, environmental performance). There is a partial mediation of work-life quality in the relationship between employees’ empowerment and organizational performance. Based on the results reached, the study include some recommendations, the most important of which are: that senior management should continue to support the empowerment process as a well-established management approach, and increase interest in aspects of the quality of work-life in cement companies because of their importance in improving organizational performance. More future researches on empowerment, organizational performance, and quality of work-life could be conducted in other organizations

The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating effect of organizational embeddedness in the relationship between quality of work life (QWL) and turnover under a foundation of conservation of resources theory. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 422 healthcare professionals through a questionnaire survey, and analyzed by means of a confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Findings The results indicate that organizational embeddedness has a negative impact on employees’ intention to leave, and on actual turnover. For QWL perception, career opportunities, work life balance, and job characteristics are positive and significant predictors of organizational embeddedness. In addition, organizational embeddedness plays an intermediary role that mediates the relationship between the three components of QWL mentioned earlier and turnover intention, and also between the factor of career opportunities and actual turnover. Research limitations/implications The current research took place within two healthcare organizations. Replicating the study in a variety of business sectors or professions with a larger sample of subjects would be useful for the generalizability of the findings. Practical implications Organizations may improve their retention of employees by offering intrinsic resources that can be obtained from the social contexts of the individual through human resource management system, e.g., growth opportunities, a healthy and caring work life quality. Such motivational resources then develop a sense of obligation toward their places of employment, which influences their intention to stay or leave. Originality/value This study examines the mediating role of organizational embeddedness between employees’ perception of their work life quality and their desire and behavior to withdraw, which is an area of inquiry that has not been fully investigated in the literature.
