INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL:
The defining of quality of work life involves three major parts, occupational, health care, suitable
working time & appropriate salary.
The term refers to the favourableness or unfavourable ness of a total job environment for people.
QWL programs are another way in which organisations recognise their responsibility to develop
jobs and working conditions that are excellent for people as well as for economic health of the
organisation. The elements in a typical QWL program include – open communications, equitable
reward systems, a concern for employee job security and satisfying careers and participation in
decision making. Many early QWL efforts focus on job enrichment. In addition to improving the
work system, QWL programs usually emphasise development of employee skills, the reduction
of occupational stress and the development of more co-operative labour-management relations.
The safe work environment provides the basis for the person to enjoy working. The work should
not pose health hazard for the person. The employees & employees where of their sticks &
sights, could achieve a lot in their mutually beneficial dialogue.
The working time has been established by the state according to the legislation which is a 40
hours working week in Estonia. The standard limits on over time, time of vacation and taking of
free days before national holidays have been separately stipulated. The differences regarding the
working time have been established for the persons less than 18 yrs of age pregnant women and
the person raising the disabled child.
The appropriate salary agreed on by the employee and the employer. The work represents such a
role in life which has been designated to it by the person himself. On the one hand work is an

CHI-SQUARE TEST
Introduction
The chi-square test, also known as non-parametric test or a distribution free test is used
when is impossible to make any assumption about population or when researcher is unable to
estimate the population’s parameters. The main advantage of using non-parametric test is that, the
researcher can analyze qualitative data. The name chi-square is generally denoted by the symbol
(χ2)
Properties
1. Calculate the expected frequencies on the basis of given hypothesis or on the basis of null
hypothesis.
2. Obtain the difference between observed and expected frequencies and find out the squares of
such differences i.e., calculate (Oij – Eij) 2.
3. After finding out the squares of such differences we have to calculate (Oij-Eij) 2/E.
