Abstract

Plantation plays a very crucial role in the export of agricultural produce. They occupy only one per cent of the total cropped area but contribute 15 per cent of the total export earnings. Plantation workers are as important to the plantation industry as producers and consumers. The production and productivity of plantations depend heavily on the performance of the workers employed therein. Therefore, the welfare, morale, and motivation of these workers must be accorded importance by the planners and promoters of the plantation industry.The aim of the study is to understand the various parameters of Quality of Work Life in the plantation sector and assess the quality of work life among women in comparison to the male workers in the Coffee plantations of Kodagu. Quality of Work Life is measured using eight dimensions and sixty items scale. The research reveals that the female workers have a favourable perception towards quality of work life when compared to the men.
