‘Work is worship’ is a popular adage. This signifies the underlying principle of life of mankind. Work is an integral part of our everyday life, as it is our livelihood or career or business. On an average we spend around twelve hours daily in the work place, i.e., one third of our entire life; it does influence the overall quality of our life. It should yield job satisfaction, give peace of mind, a fulfilment of having done a task, as it is expected, without any flaw and having spent the time fruitfully, constructively and purposefully. Even if it is a small step towards our lifetime goal, at the end of the day it gives satisfaction and eagerness to look forward to the next day. Better quality of work life leads to increased employee morale. It minimizes attrition and checks labour turnover and absenteeism. The paper reviews the factors contributing to the quality of work life and the techniques of maximizing the performance at work place.
