Quality of life among government employees and it employees

Quality of life in the workplace is the extent to which workers can satisfy important physical, psychological and social needs through their experiences in the organization. The quality of life of employees is in the best interest of communities and organizations as it focuses strongly on providing a work environment conducive to satisfy individual needs in this competitive digital era. There is a paradigm shift in the 9 to 5 job model, which is becoming obsolete as well. People are having a much harder time separating work from their lives so it is important that they love their work so much that it isn't work but it is their passion. Thus, the ability to promote quality of life rather than engender strains and mental illness is of considerable benefit not only to employees in the community but also to the employer's bottom line. It is assumed that if employees have more positive attitudes about the organization, their productivity increases. The present study examines whether the type of working sector (IT/government) have any relationship with the perception of quality of life at work and also to compare the relationship between quality of life among government (N=190) and IT (N= 155) workers.

The results were thoroughly analysed and discussed. The results highlights that work related factors have significant and differential relationship with perception of quality of life at among the IT and Government sectors.
