Abstract: In manufacturing manual jobs, staff skill plays a key role in product quality. The rapid development of various sciences and technologies and its impact on different aspects of enterprises shows the need for training human resources. In this study, the effects of two factors of educational programs and quality of working life on the employees' motivation for improving product quality in a factory manufacturing car accessories were compared. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire, and were analysed by SPSS software. After evaluating the reliability and validity of the questionnaires, the effect of educational program and quality of working life on the three variables of rework, wastage, and customer satisfaction, as the criteria for product quality, were investigated by using SEM with Smart PLS software. The findings showed that the quality of working life was more effective than the educational and training programs based on the product quality indices.
