Employee Tenure

A major reason for advocating for quality of work life has been the promise that it creates a win-win situation: improved employee satisfaction and welfare, hence increased productivity, longer employee tenure and consequently increased company profitability. Nevertheless, in the context of small to medium enterprises (SMEs), scant attention has been given to the empirical investigation into the influence of the quality of work life on employee tenure intention in Southern Africa. The purpose of this study is to fill this gap by examining the influence of SME employees’ perceptions of the quality of work life on their tenure intention and the mediating role of job satisfaction and job commitment in this relationship as far as Zimbabwe is concerned. Five hypotheses were posited and sample data of 282 were collected from Harare, Zimbabwe’s biggest city, to empirically test these hypotheses. The results of this study showed that, in the SME context, quality of work life positively and significantly influences employee job satisfaction, job commitment and consequently tenure intention. The managerial implications of the findings are discussed and limitations and future research directions are indicated.

Quality of work-life is an essential factor for the accomplishment of goals in any organisation throughout the world. The happy working environment plays a fundamental role in the personal and working life of the employees. Also, it is such an environment which helps the organisation to run effectively and efficiently. Most of the organizations who give much importance to the decent work-life of the employees have been successful in the effective running of their business. The present paper is a study aimed at analyzing the factors of the quality of work-life of the bus drivers and conductors of Puducherry Road Transport Corporation and their determining influence on job stress, job commitment, job satisfaction and work-life balance. The primary data were collected by using the questionnaire from the 445 respondents working from the four regions such as Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam at Puducherry Road Transport Corporation. The respondents also vary from the nature of employment viz., permanent, temporary, part-time and daily wages. The researchers employed statistical tools such as Cluster Analysis, Chi-Square analysis and Linear Multiple regression analysis for the study about the intrinsic relationship among the factors of quality of work-life and with other four effects of quality of work-life. The research found that there exists a deep association between quality of work-life of employees in the Puducherry Road Transport Corporation and their job stress, job commitment, job satisfaction and work-life balance. The study concluded that quality of work life is significant to permanent employees, whereas the quality of worklife is insignificant to contract employees. The research work emphasized that the quality of work-life directly depends upon the satisfaction level of the employees. Thus study concluded that the employees’ satisfaction level influences the quality of work life in the organisation. The study will facilitate the top management to consider all the grievances to help them to cop up with needs of employees and improve the Job Commitment, Job Satisfaction and Job Stress in the Transport Sector.

The Relationship

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between quality of work-life (QWL) and work-life balance (WLB).Design/methodology/approachUsing a structured survey instrument, this paper gathered data from 445 respondents in cosmopolitan city in southern part of India. First psychometric properties of the instrument were tested, and then hierarchical regression was used as a statistical technique for analyzing the data.FindingsThe hierarchical regression results indicated that QWL is (1) negatively related to job stress, (2) positively related to job satisfaction and (3) positively related to job commitment. The results also indicated that (1) job stress is negatively related to WLB, (2) job satisfaction is positively related to WLB and (3) job commitment is positively related to WLB. The results also show partial mediation of job stress, job satisfaction, and job commitment in the relationship between QWL and WLB.Research limitations/implicationsSince the present research is based on self-report measures, the limitations of social desirability bias and common method bias are inherent. However, sufficient care is taken to minimize these limitations. The research has implications for human resource managers in work organizations.Practical implicationsThis study contributes to both practicing managers and the literature on human resource management. The study suggests that employers need to be aware of the importance of quality of work-life and work-life balance in achieving organizational effectiveness.Social implicationsThe study is expected to contribute to the welfare of the society in terms of identifying the antecedents of work-life balance.Originality/valueThis study provides new insights about the effects of QWL on WLB through mediating variables. This is a conceptual model developed and tested and first of its kind in India.
