From a study of organizational situations which indicate the hidden realities of Quality of Work Life (QWL) in our organizations, the author focuses on the point that management academics who play an important role in ‘educating’ managers may wish to examine QWL in the light of a paradigm radically different from the one currently used. This alternative paradigm, based on a study of Indian psychophilosophy, is offered from a strictly problem-solving point of view. The author suggests that the will-to-yoga can be the only viable process for toning up QWL.

Work is a means for man to fulfill their needs. However, from the positive psychology point of view, work is more than to fulfill the needs but beyond that reason. Work experiences provide added value to man’s lives and societal growth. Nightlife industries are hardly researched even though these industries have been growing vastly. Workers in these areas are similar to other workers from different types of industries in that they make meaning of their work and experience job satisfaction and quality of their work-life. This research aimed at testing the contribution of the quality of work-life and meaningful work toward job satisfaction of female nightlife business workers. Path analysis using PLS-SEM shows that the job satisfaction of nightlife workers is predicted by their meaningful work and quality of work life. In this study, meaningful work acts as a mediator in the relationship between quality of work-life and job satisfaction.
