Abstract

Quality of work life (QWL) is not only one of the most important domains in peoples’ lives, but also affects andshapes many of the components of the general/ total quality of life (wellness) of organizational members, as wellas other peoples at the community, national, regional and even global levels.There has been ample research studying QWL, but very little attempts have been made to link QWL with generalwellness/ well – being. As peoples every where suffer from the many unfortunate and sad crises and outcomesbrought by organizations, QWL deserves more intensive and in-depth research, especially examining QWLlinkage with whole well – being. This paper attempts to provide a framework of guidelines to help organizationscreate and develop high QWL that can enhance and promote the welfare, goodness and total wellness, not onlyof organizational members, but also all other stakeholders and the broader societies at community, national andglobal levels. Thus, developing and nurturing among organizational members not only good organizationalcitizenship behavior, but also good national and even global citizenship behavior.
