Abstract
This study explores
the significance of the quality of work life and its components in the context
of secondary school teachers in Katsina State, Nigeria. Using Walton's model,
eight components of the quality of work life were assessed: organizational health,
adequate remuneration, professional development, supportive work environment,
classroom resources, workload management, career growth and advancement,
recognition and rewards. A descriptive research method was employed, and data
were collected through a questionnaire of quality of work Life (QWL)
administered to a sample of 398 teachers. The findings indicate that teachers
perceive the quality of work life to be at an average level, with certain
components scoring higher than others. Furthermore, there was no significant
difference in the quality of work life between theoretical and technical school
teachers. The study highlights the importance of the quality of work life in
enhancing teachers' performance and organizational commitment, aligning with previous
research in the field. These findings contribute to the understanding of
factors that influence the quality of work life in educational settings and
emphasize the need for government to prioritize and improve various aspects of
teachers' working conditions to foster a supportive and fulfilling work
environment.
