According to Sirgy et al. (2001), the quality of work-life is ensured upon satisfaction of seven
needs namely health and safety needs, economic and family needs, social needs, esteem
needs, actualization needs, knowledge needs, and aesthetic needs. The quality of work-life
determined upon satisfaction of these needs with several dimensions shows a spillover effect,
and becomes a critical factor and determinant in an employee’s quality of work-life as well as
his job satisfaction, other areas of life and general life satisfaction. The higher an employee’s
quality of work-life, the more positive his feelings about the organization he works for. It is
assumed that if a person is feeling positive about the organization he works for, this positive
emotion results in organizational commitment (Sirgy vd. 2001).
