Abstract

This study aims to determine whether there are differences among various motivational factors in creating quality of work life and also to determine whether job restructuring and innovative reward systems are the motivational factors that have the greatest difference in creating quality of work life. The statistical method used to test the hypothesis is the chi-square test. The conclusion that can be drawn in this study indicates that significant differences between motivational factors in creating quality of work life are due to the company's failure to involve employees in problem solving along with the implementation of job restructuring and work environment improvements. Other differences also indicate that the implementation of job restructuring has not been balanced with the implementation of innovative reward systems for employees. On the other hand, employees have not yet felt the benefits of the work restructuring implemented by the company. The largest difference between job restructuring and innovative reward systems among the motivational factors studied in creating quality of work life indicates that the adjustment of rewards has not been felt by employees in line with the work restructuring implemented by the company. In this study, the recommendation that can be given by the researcher in relation to the differences between these motivational factors is that the company should begin to involve employees in problem solving related to the restructuring implemented by the company. Given the significant difference between participation in problem-solving and improving the work environment, companies should involve employees in implementing improvements. Companies should place greater emphasis on innovative reward systems in conjunction with their work restructuring efforts. One approach companies can take is adjusting employee rewards. Companies should improve the existing work environment in line with their work restructuring efforts. Job rotation is recommended to prevent boredom and loss of interest in their work.
