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 1960S

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.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan alat ukur psikologi yang mengukur quality of working life karyawan, dengan menggunakan lima dimensi quality of working life yaitu health & well being, job security, job satisfaction, competency development, dan work & non-work life balance. Penelitian ini penting untuk dilakukan, dikarenakan alat ukur quality of working life dengan kelima dimensi tersebut masih tergolong baru, dan quality of working life juga merupakan hal penting untuk diperhatikan oleh suatu organisasi. Paritisipan yang terlibat dalam pengambilan data utama adalah sebanyak 109 orang partisipan. Pendekatan yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif, dengan desain non-experimental, dan bersifat deskriptif. Berdasarkan pada hasil penelitian ini, alat ukur yang peneliti kembangkan telah memenuhi standar psikometri. Terdapat beberapa rangkaian analisis yang peneliti lakukan, yaitu menguji keterbacaan aitem kepada lima orang, yang mana menghasilkan 69 aitem pernyataan, dan kemudian melakukan uji coba alat ukur kepada 36 orang partisipan, dan menganalisis aitem alat ukur tersebut, dan menghasilkan 40 aitem setelah terdapat beberapa aitem yang digugurkan. Kemudian peneliti melakukan pengambilan data utama alat ukur dengan melibatkan 109 orang partisipan, dan menghasilkan alpha cronbach sebesar 0,959 dan dapat dinyatakan alat ukur tersebut reliabel, sedangkan r hitung lebih dari 0,300 yang dapat diartikan bahwa 40 aitem pernyataan dinyatakan valid.

Test Retest Reliability

Malaysia aims to be one of the developed nations by year 2020; therefore, it is crucial to gauge the quality of working life in a parallel manner using a well-established Work-Related Quality of Life (WRQoL) Scale. The goal of this study is to describe the validity and psychometric properties of the Malay WRQoL Scale in Malaysian population.<br />A total of 572 respondents took part in this cross-sectional study giving a 97% response rate. The reliability of the Malay WRQoL Scale was assessed using the test retest reliability analysis after a 2-week period. Both the interclass correlation (ICC) and Cronbach’s alpha were within acceptable levels. However in the validity analysis, the exploratory factor analysis only revealed 5 factors instead of 6 in the original scale.<br />The Malay WRQoL scale has demonstrated to have the appropriate psychometric properties and can therefore be used in Malaysia to assess the quality of working life.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve around the world, it is important to examine its effect on societies and individuals, including health and social care (HSC) professionals. The aim of this study was to compare cross-sectional data collected from HSC staff in the UK at two time points during the COVID-19 pandemic: Phase 1 (May–July 2020) and Phase 2 (November 2020–January 2021). The HSC staff surveyed consisted of nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, social care workers and social workers from across the UK (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland). Multiple regressions were used to examine the effects of different coping strategies and demographic and work-related variables on participants’ wellbeing and quality of working life to see how and if the predictors changed over time. An additional multiple regression was used to directly examine the effects of time (Phase 1 vs. Phase 2) on the outcome variables. Findings suggested that both wellbeing and quality of working life deteriorated from Phase 1 to Phase 2. The results have the potential to inform interventions for HSC staff during future waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, other infectious outbreaks or even other circumstances putting long-term pressures on HSC systems.

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.
