Abstract

This study aims to analyze strategies for improving Quality of Work Life (QWL) and its impact on performance appraisal systems in organizations. QWL is a key factor contributing to employee well-being and work effectiveness, where various elements such as work environment, work-life balance, and organizational policies have a significant impact on workforce satisfaction and productivity. This study shows that organizations that implement QWL improvement policies tend to have higher employee retention rates, more objective performance evaluation systems, and better productivity. Strategies such as work flexibility, employee training programs, utilization of technology in performance evaluation, and implementation of a fair reward system can simultaneously improve the effectiveness of performance appraisal systems and employee well-being. In addition, this study identified various factors that influence the success of QWL improvement strategies, including management support, an inclusive organizational culture, and a balance between work demands and employees' personal needs. By understanding and implementing these strategic measures, organizations can ensure that employee performance is assessed more objectively and fairly and create a more productive and harmonious work environment. This research provides important insights for human resource managers to develop outcome-oriented policies, and the well-being of the workforce.
