Analyses of Quality of Work Life in Bangladesh: A Comparative Study on Software Firms

摘要

The research inclines to investigate the impact of “designation”, “experience” and “age” factors among software firm employees in Bangladesh on existing and expected quality of work life (QWL). A total number of 150 employees were selected from five (5) Software Firms on a stratified random sampling basis. For the purpose of this study nine determinants of QWL were selected on the basis of available literature. A structured questionnaire was framed to collect data from the respondents which embrace all the determinants of QWL and 150 employees were surveyed. Percentage analysis, Mean and standard deviation scores on all nine determinants of QWL and Z-test are used to analyze the collected data. A five point Likert scale was used to analyze the perception and expectations of the software firm employees about the quality of work life regarding their designation, experiences and age in the selected five software firms. The result indicates that the designation, experience and age of Software Firms employees in Bangladesh do not alter their rating of the existing and expected quality of work life (QWL). According to the study few suggestions were proposed to improve the present QWL environments of Bangladeshi software firms.
