Several Research Studies in the world have measured the Quality of Work Life (QWL) of Employees in Industries, Universities, Schools, Government and Non Government Organizations. This research study highlights the quality of work life of engineering college teachers under various dimensions. New Challenges can be faced with employees’ satisfaction, commitment and involvement in achieving personal effectiveness. This study helps the engineering college teachers to know the role of QWL on Job attitude and Personal Effectiveness. Quality of Work Life (QWL) is a philosophy, a set of principles, which holds that people are the most important resource in an organization, that they are trustworthy, responsible and capable of making valuable contributions and that they should be treated with dignity and respect.
