Abstract

Quality of work life is a process through which all the members of an organization influence one another through open channels of communication and continuous interaction. Therefore, this study examines the impact of quality of work life on managerial skills. The method carried out in this research is a survey (descriptive) and its objective is applied. The data collection tool is a questionnaire. The statistical population studied consists of all employees in the technical affairs department of the South Oil Fields Company, and random sampling was employed. The research data were collected using the questionnaire. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS, with percentages and simple correlation coefficients. The results indicated a significant correlation between the level of managerial skills and the level of quality of work life at the 0.01 probability level. Quality of work life is one of the most influential variables in the level of managerial skills.
