Abstract


Nowadays, quality of work life is an integral part of work place. Most importantly employees' ability to handle midlife costs attributing to sudden depression, change in social patterns and decline in body energy etc. has become significant contributor to achieving or not achieving quality of work life at their workplace. This study measures the quality of work life in R&D organisation and also identifies the effect of midlife crisis on quality of work life. Using simple random sampling 142 employees were sampled from leading R&D organisations using cross-sectional study design. The participants were individually administered Work-Related Quality of Life Scale (WRQoL) and self-designedMid-life crisis questionnaire. Correlational analysis indicated that Quality of work life is negatively correlated with midlife crisis and its dimensions. Also, Physical symptoms contributed as a strong predictor of quality of work life. Further implications of the study are discussed in the paper.
