SUMMARY ABOUT RESEARCH PAPER

1. Objective OF The Study

Research objective is a very important term for the research process. Its based on the different research objective. There are different objective for my research report. To identify the factors affecting QWL of the hospital nurses under study; To assess the QWL of the hospital nurses under study; To suggest, on the basis of the results of this study, measures aimed at improving the QWL of the hospital nurses under study.

2. Research Design Used

After the formulation of research objectives, the next step was to identify the tools and procedures to collect and analyze data relevant to the research problem. A descriptive research design was used since the data required was objective in nature. Descriptive research is the most widely used in similar act finding approaches to a study of the present situation. Moreover, the constraints of time did not permit the use of an exploratory method This Research is more related to descriptive type because the retailers knowledge, beliefs, and satisfaction of services can be judged through this type of research. Descriptive study may be necessary in other cases when a study could be taken up or when researcher is

interested in knowing the proportion of the people in a given population who have behaved in a particular manner, making projections of a certain thing, or more variables. Descriptive Research To describe the characteristics of relevant groups, such as consumers, salespeople, organizations, or market areas. For example, we could develop a profile of the heavy users of prestigious department stores like sake fifth avenue and neiman marcus. To make specific predictions. For example, what will be the retail sales of neiman marcus for fashion clothing in the dallas area?

3. Sampling Design Used (Not Applicable)

There are two types of sampling designs. A) Probability sampling. B) Non-probability sampling.

A) Probability Sampling A sampling procedure in which each element of the population has fixed probabilistic chance of being selected for the sample.

B) Non-probability A non-probability sampling technique that attempts to obtain a sample of convenient element. The selection of sampling units is left primarily to the interviewer.

4. Sample Size Considered

This research consists of the sample size was restricted to 100 nurses for undergone this research project report. Tools of analysis included mean scores and standard deviation.

5. Data Collection Method Used

The primary data was collected from 2 government and 2 private hospitals of the valley. For statistical analysis responses of the respondents of government and private hospitals were collated together to get the overall picture of quality of work life of the two types of hospitals.

6. Data Collection Tools Used

Quality of work life questionnaire developed by Saklani (2003) was administered with modifications to collect the primary data. Out of 63 items representing 13 dimensions of QWL, such variables as most significantly concerned with Quality of work life in the hospitals under study - only 50 in all - were chosen and classified into 12 different dimensions.

7. Variables Used
There are two types of variables. Dependent variable In dependent variable In this study we are used both variable. Dependent Variable Working women still retain primary responsibility for dependent care and household chores, however. There are many challenges that female employees must confront in balancing their multiple roles as employees, mother, and spouse. However the male employees also face work life balance issues. An analysis of mean scores across all the dimensions unfolds that the nurses express positive views as their ratings with respect to majority of the variables are skewed positively. QWL grand mean scores of 3.42 and 3.53, respectively, for private and government hospitals nurses imply that nurses of both the types of hospitals are satisfied with their QWL, however, the nurses of the private hospitals are less sanguine. To test the statistical significance in the perception of respondents of private and government hospitals was applied Independent Variable Respondents of private and government hospitals.

8. Scale Used In Data Collection

This clearly explains the morale of these professionals towards management, which clearly lacks a family feeling. The response was divided among the professionals when asked about getting a pay increase if a job was well done. 50 percent said a yes and other 50 percent a no. This indicates that pay equity especially external equity is discriminating and there is relative deprivation of pay scales internally too.

9. Hypothesis
H0: There is no significant association between the demographic profiles of Information Technology professionals with their perceptions about QWL.

H1: Null hypothesis is accepted, as the t-test clearly indicated that there is no positive association between gender and quality of work life. Most of the other demographic variables too like age and work experience had no significant association with QWL.

H0: There is no significant association between job satisfaction and QWL. H2: Null Hypothesis rejected, as it has been proven statistically that there is significant association between job satisfaction as an independent variable and QWL.

H0: There is no significant association between job stress and QWL. H3: Null Hypothesis rejected, as it has been proven statistically that there is significant association between job stress as an independent variable and QWL.

H0: There is no significant association between pay and benefits and QWL. H4: Null Hypothesis rejected, as it has been proven statistically that there is significant association between pay and benefits as an independent variable and QWL.

H0: There is no significant association between balance between work and family life and Quality of Work Life H5: Null Hypothesis rejected, as it has been proven statistically that there is significant association between employees feeling deprived of their family responsibilities due to work thereby creating negative perception toward work life.

10. Hypothesis Testing

To test the statistical significance in the perception of respondents of private and government hospitals (one way ANOVA) was applied. t-test and one way ANOVA was applied to study any significant differences in the mean scores.s
