Gestão de qualidade de vida no trabalho em uma empresa têxtil na região de Londrina (PR)

Abstract

Quality of work life (QWL) has a significant impact on an organization. People need attention and care to meet their needs and achieve personal and professional satisfaction. In an organization, the quality of work life offered to its employees will directly or indirectly influence all its aspects, from relationships between people to the evolution of the company's tasks and activities, which will affect its final productive and financial performance. In view of the above, the study in question had as its main objective to investigate flaws in the organization of a textile company, aiming to develop a viable proposal for managing workers' quality of life, to demonstrate to what extent QWL management can contribute for the yield and quality of final production. For this, bibliographical research was carried out in scientific databases, through books, articles, theses, dissertations, monographs, magazines, as well as through the elaboration and application of a questionnaire with closed questions, which was applied to 10 employees of the company from different sectors. It was found that quality of life at work is essential for employees, bringing benefits that are evidenced both by people who practice quality of life in their organizational environment and by organizations that are the main drivers of this process.
