Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 4
Abstract
A high quality of work life (QWL) is a crucial issue for health care facilities to have qualified, dedicated, and inspired employees. Among different specialties in health care settings, nurses have a major share among other health care providers. So, they should experience a better QWL to deliver high-quality holistic care to those who need help. Objective. To determine the quality of nursing work life among nurses working in selected private hospitals at Thanjavur. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 253 nurses of five hospitals . A multinomial logistic regression model was fitted to identify significant predictors of quality of work life using SPSS version 21. Results. The study showed that 67.2% of the nurses were dissatisfied with the quality of their work life. We found that educational status, monthly income, working unit, and work environment were strong predictors of quality of work life among nurses (š¯‘¯ < 0.05). Conclusion. Significant proportions of the nurses were dissatisfied with the quality of their work life. The findings in this study and studies reported from elsewhere pinpoint that perception of nurses about the quality of their work life can be modified if health care managers are considerate of the key issues surrounding QWL.
