ROLE OF LEADERSHIP STYLES IN QUALITY OF WORK-LIFE: A STUDY ON EDUCATION SECTOR

India is now facing the challenge of growing competition in several respects. In such environment labour retention is very important for survival. In this scenario, appropriate leadership style for quality of work life (QWL) is very essential for survival. The QWL approach considers people as an 'asset' to the organization rather than as ‘costs'. To satisfy the new generation workforce, organizations need to concentrate on job designs and organization of work. This research study highlights the quality of work life of University teachers under various dimensions. New Challenges can be faced with employees' commitment and involvement in achieving organizational goals. This study helps the educational institution to know the level of perception towards QWL and to enhance the same by the educational administrators. The major objective of the study was to find whether the quality of work-life leads to job satisfaction or not. In order to find out the influence of job satisfaction on quality of work-life, and also to find out whether there is any significant difference in quality of work-life with respect to gender and other aspects. The result revealed that, all the variables have a positive influence on the quality of work-life. That means any increase or decrease in job satisfaction of employees will show changes in the quality of work-life of employees in the educational institutions.
