Dimensions and indicators of quality of life and well-being at work

The influence of dimensions of quality of life and well-being at work (salaries and benefits; opportunities of using and developing one's own skills; physical and safety conditions at work; relationship and communication between supervisors and employees; interpersonal relationship between job colleagues) on its indicators (affective organizational commitment, job satisfaction and positive affects toward work) was investigated. Two hundred and eight four employees from the state electricity sector responded to scales designed for evaluating the constructs that take part in the investigation. The opportunities of using and developing one's own skills were the main predictor of all three indicators investigated. Those opportunities can be seen as a motivational job resource that influences positively the quality of life and well-being at work.
