Quality of Work Life (QWL) is one of the vital aspects that contribute significantly to the enhancement of employee satisfaction, productivity, and organizational effectiveness. Quality of Work Life is primarily focused on improving the working conditions of employees by addressing key aspects such as job security, salary, working environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction, employee engagement, and job stress. The main objective of the present study is to investigate and compare the Quality of Work Life of contract and permanent employees in the manufacturing industries of Hosur. Descriptive research was adopted for the study, and the data was collected from employees using a structured questionnaire based on a Likert scale. The statistical tools adopted for the study were percentage analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and correlation. The findings of the study reveal that the majority of employees experience a high level of Quality of Work Life in various aspects. Further, the study revealed that there is no significant difference between male and female employees in the perception of Quality of Work Life. However, the study observed a significant difference between permanent and contract employees in terms of job security. The study also reveals that education qualification affects certain aspects of Quality of Work Life.
