MSMEs play a vital role in driving economic growth and fostering equity in the workforce. These enterprises constitute over 95% of businesses in numerous economies, and they are recognized for their pivotal role in job creation, as well as their substantial contributions to industrial productivity and exports.
Human beings, especially Indigenous workers, possess a diverse array of experiences and facets comprising their Quality of Work Life (QWF). This encompasses work-related factors like quality and career, along with personal elements such as enjoyment, autonomy, and spiritual development. In recent times, the nature of the workplace has undergone significant transformations by departing from the conventional notion that work solely fulfills fundamental human necessities. Consequently, managers and experts in behavioral science presently acknowledge the vital importance attributed to QWF.
They argue that improving work-life quality is key to enhancing performance and productivity. Therefore, the researcher aims to investigate the Quality of Work Life among employees in MSMEs in Trichy and Tanjore Districts.
