  • The quality of work life and the intensification of work [Elektronski vir]
    Mesner-Andolšek, Dana ; Štebe, Janez
    In our paper we will focus on work intensification and the quality of work life (QWL). During the economic crises many companies try to survive by using work intensification and thus neglect the ... quality of work life of their workers. QWL has been identified as a personal reaction to work environment and experiences such as the perception of control, involvement, commitment, work-life balance, and wellbeing in relation to someone's job and organization. Work intensification can be seen in the increased number of work hours, overtime hours, working at very high speed, working in free time and in shifts as well as in the consequences such as mental and physical strains and less favourable conditions for work family integration. But as we will show in our analysis, the consequences for an organization are not very positive as well. We will present data from Slovenia where the questionnaire was carried out on a representative sample of the adult population. Our analysis shows that work intensification does not always produce such bad consequences.
