The respondents were 70 people and the primary data were collected by using a structured questionnaire and secondary data collected from research journals, company records and industry reports. The data was analyzed using statistical techniques such as Chi-Square test, Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient, Multiple Regression Analysis and Factor Analysis. The results show a high positive correlation (r = 0.748) between QWL and employee productivity, with 76.4% of the variance in productivity accounted for by the multiple regression model. Three factors underlying QWL were determined: Work Environment & Satisfaction, Interpersonal & Participative Support and Economic Security & Growth. The study concludes that QWL is not just a welfare program, it is a strategic organizational tool that really improves employee motivation, engagement and productivity.
