Abstract
The Quality of Work life (QWL) is the employees’ feeling or
perception of being comfortable with their work. The objective of the
present study was to compare Quality of School Work Life (QSWL)
of public school teachers from Turkey and Pakistan. A QSWL scale
developed by Ilgan, Ata, Zepeda and Ozu-Cengiz (2014) having 30
items was used as the research instrument. The sample included
995 Turkish teachers (from 8 cities) and 716 Pakistani teachers
(from 5 cities of Punjab). Reliability coefficient of QSWL scale was
0.81. Further, five subscales within the QSWL tools were identified
through its exploratory factor analysis. On all these 5 subscales of
QSWL (when analysed separately), Turkish and Pakistani teachers differed significantly in their perceptions; however, they were found
appreciating similar QSWL in the aggregate analyses. In detailed
analyses of various subgroups only female teachers from Pakistan
were found better on QSWL than their Turkish counterparts.
