The article is devoted to the problem of evaluation of the working life quality of personnel of a modern Russian enterprise. On the basis of a survey of employees of enterprises in various spheres of activity in the Tyumen region using a full (dispensing) questionnaire, satisfactory and unsatisfactory criteria characterizing the quality of their working life are revealed. The research shows that within the framework of the motivational system, the provision of employees of the Tyumen region enterprises with social benefits ranks last, while the state's social policy is aimed at raising this indicator, at material and physical well-being, and at social and legal protection of the person. Social benefits and social guarantees form an important sphere of working life and contribute to a significant improvement in the quality of working life. Satisfaction with the work activity is formed under the influence of a large number of factors. Detailed study and analysis of each factor will improve the quality of working life of employees of the Tyumen region enterprises. The conducted research confirms that there are no violations in the sphere of legislative provision with social guarantees at the enterprises of the Tyumen region. This means that the payment of sick leave sheets and payments provided in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation are fully implemented without violating the deadlines. In addition, the civil rights of employees are respected and leave is granted in accordance with the schedule. On the basis of the study, the authors proposed ways to improve the quality of working life of employees in the Tyumen region.

The quality of working life became an important topic in the 1960s and 1970s, helping to stimulate an early approach to evidence-based policy advocacy drawing on interdisciplinary research by social scientists. Over the years it fell out of the limelight but much relevant, albeit fragmented, research has continued. We present a case for rekindling an integrated and normative approach to quality of working life research as one means of promoting workers’ well-being and emancipation. We outline an updated classification of the characteristics of quality of working life and a related analytic framework. We illustrate how research and practice will benefit from following this renewed quality of working life framework, using work design as an example. Concluding, we aim to stimulate debate on the necessity and benefits of rebuilding a quality of working life agenda for marrying academic rigour and practical relevance in order to support interventions aimed at fostering worker emancipation and well-being.

The research features the quality of working life and its foundations, components, and measurement. The article describes and summarizes various theoretical and applied perspectives of the phenomenon. It presents authentic ideas on the theory of working life quality, as well as a list of key elements. The authors describe a case of the nurses working in the Regional Clinical Center of miners’ health. According to the author, the quality of working life is a particular case of the general quality of life and represents the degree of satisfaction of life-supporting (physically favorable environment), social, and spiritual needs through labor activity. The dual quality of working life is in two basic approaches to its measurement: objective and subjective. The quality of working life includes the content of the work; rewards (material and immaterial); working hours; working conditions; staff; public utility and prestige of work; development; career; social guarantees and non-material compensation. The options were found limited in the absence of a full list of indicators that actualized the use of sociological tools. The research scheme is based on the example of a sociological study of opinions formed integral indicators for each quality element. The total score was quite high. The formation of point management influences in relation to certain aspects of the quality of working life can improve the management systems of labor organization and personnel motivation.

Abstract This study aimed to understand how the insertion of music in the work environment contributes to achieving Quality of Working Life (QWL), from the perspective of biopsychosocial and organisational well-being. The context where the study was conducted was the manufacturing area of a major textile company located in Natal, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The use of a case study was the research strategy adopted, with exploratory and descriptive objectives. The primary data was collected through the focus group technique and semi-structured interviews were used as an additional tool. Respecting the theoretical saturation criterion, four focus groups were formed, each comprising eight randomly selected participants from the seventy-six co-workers in the sector. The data was analysed qualitatively, using the content analysis technique. Twenty-eight QWL attributes were identified. It was concluded that musical insertion provides biological, social and, above all, psychological and organisational well-being to the co-workers, contributing to achieving QWL in the work environment researched.
