Quality of Work Life (QWL) is the degree to which employees are able to shape their jobs actively, in accordance
with their options, interests and needs. However if the organization provides the appropriate authority to design work
activities to the individual employees, then it is highly possible that the work activities can match their employees’
needs that contribute to the organizational performance, Beukema (1987). QWL is thus the extent of relationships
between individuals and organizational factors that are existing in the working environment. It is focusing strongly
on providing a work environment conducive to satisfy individual needs. It is assumed that if employees have more
positive attitudes about the organization and their productivity increases, everything else being equal, the organization
should be more effective. It is seen from various researches that employees of an organization often take their work
to home due to heavy work demands, by which they cannot pay right attention to their family problems, take care of
their family members, which ultimately leads to a disturbed and unbalanced work-life. The main purpose of this
research is to investigate the overall quality of work life of O. P. Jindal Group, New Delhi. A literature review of
previous study is given along with a questionnaire survey has been done using a standard questionnaire. To fulfill
the objectives correlation of the factors among each other and also with QWL is calculated. The findings of the
study reflect that the QWL of the group is positively influenced by the factors taken for the study.
