Abstract

This study aims to explore certain dimensions of Quality of Work Life (QWL) among paramedical staff at the Public Institution of Proximity Healthcare in Berrahal, Annaba. To empirically examine the research objectives, a descriptive approach was employed, relying on a random sample of 33 participants out of a total population of 43 individuals involved in the field study. A questionnaire was used as the primary data collection tool, comprising 28 items distributed across five dimensions. Statistical analysis was conducted using frequencies and arithmetic means.
The findings revealed that the dimensions of wage fairness and participation in decision-making do not contribute to achieving QWL for the study sample. In contrast, the dimensions of work–life balance, positive human relations, and favorable physical working conditions were found to enhance QWL among the participants.
