INDUSTRIAL SAFETY AND QUALITY OF WORK LIFE
*DR.SHANMUKHA RAO PADALA ** DR.N.V.S.SURYANARAYANA
Quality of work life (QWL) has its roots in scientific management advocated by F.W. Taylor way back in 1940′s. The mechanical approach or quantitative approach that scientific management assured gave way to the frustration of workers which led to human relations movement and later socio-technical movement which is the basis for today’s Quality of Work Life. Thus, the evaluation of the concept QWL was mainly in three phases- Scientific management, human relations movement and finally socio-technical movement. The socio-technical system advocates such an organizational design which ensures high quality of work life. Most of the organizations are interested in enhancing employee’s QWL and generally try to instill the feeling of security, equality, pride and prestige, among its employees. For this purpose procedures and policies are framed to make the work less routine and more rewarding for the employees. These procedures or policies provide autonomy, recognition, good working condition and conferring awards in appreciation of work done etc.
