The Nexus between Quality of Work Life and Organizational Commitment: The Mediating Role of Supportive Leadership

Abstract

    This study explores the nexus between the quality of work life (QWL) and organizational commitment (OC) among teachers of Working Folks Grammar High Schools (WFHGS) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan. The study also examines the mediating role of supportive leadership in this relationship. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, and the data were collected from 384 teachers using a structured questionnaire. The results of the study indicate that QWL and OC are positively correlated, and supportive leadership plays a mediating role in this relationship. The findings suggest that enhancing QWL and developing Supportive leadership can increase the OC of teachers in WFHGS, leading to a more committed and engaged workforce. The study contributes to the understanding of the importance of QWL and supportive leadership in the educational sector and provides insights for managers and policymakers to improve the work environment and foster greater commitment among teachers.
