Measuring quality of work life among workers in handicraft industries of Jaipur

A study on Jaipur's handicraft industries reveals that the quality of work life for workers is significantly influenced by three key factors: working environment, job security, and cooperation with co-workers. These factors are critical not only for worker well-being but also for organizational performance. The research, conducted through a questionnaire survey of 120 workers across four handicraft industries, highlights that ergonomic interventions could substantially improve work conditions, reduce musculoskeletal disorders, and boost productivity. This finding underscores the potential of targeted ergonomics to enhance both worker health and economic output in small-scale industries, which play a vital role in India's economy.
